Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles recently demonstrated his compassion and respect for veterans at an Honor Flight event held at USAA headquarters in Colorado Springs. The event honored 52 veterans from the Korean and Vietnam Wars, providing them with an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C. on May 18 to visit their memorials.

Personal Connection to the Cause

The event held special significance for Bolles, as his grandfather served in the Korean War. This personal connection motivated Bolles to attend the event, where he listened to the veterans' stories, took pictures, and expressed his gratitude for their service.

Community Involvement and Recognition

Bolles' commitment to community service is well-documented. He has been nominated twice for the Broncos' Walter Payton Man of the Year award, recognizing his work in the community both on and off the field. His actions at the Honor Flight event further highlight his dedication to honoring and supporting veterans.

Honor Flight: A Journey of Camaraderie and Closure

The Honor Flight program aims to provide veterans with an opportunity to visit their memorials, fostering camaraderie and, in some cases, helping with closure. The trip to Washington D.C. on May 18 will be a memorable experience for the 52 veterans, thanks in part to the support of individuals like Garett Bolles.
