We attend COANG Retirements and present a Retirement Certificate and a Colorado Minuteman Pin to each retiree and welcome them into our group.
Also, we attend promotions and change of commands. We assist with special events such as Veteran’s Salute, Christmas parties and Family days.
We conduct the meeting each month sharing information from and about members local and out of state. We celebrate the current month’s birthdays, hear briefings from the 140th Wing Commander and other speakers who’s subjects are relevant to the retirees in the COANG and military retirees in general.

We get updates on the several Buckley and community service projects and current COANG and Buckley activities and deployments by the 140 Wing and its subordinate units. Also the Space Force Delta 2 units brief us on their activities. We have speakers from Medical insurances and Veteran’s Benefit organizations.
Above all we reminisce and enjoy stories about our past experiences.
