The 'Salute to American Veterans Rally' is coming up in August. What better place than Cripple Creek, Colorado to attend a rally in honor of our past, present and future soldiers.

This years event will be held on Friday, August 14 through Sunday, August 16 in beautiful Cripple Creek, Colorado. The mission of the Salute to American Veterans Rally can be summed up in five simple but meaningful words:

DUTY - HONOR - CAMARADERIE - RESPECT - FREEDOM

When it comes to rallies and our Military, this is one of the best veteran motorcycle rallies around with something to do for everyone and it's right here in Colorado.

  • Vietnam Memoraial Travelling Wall
  • POW/MIA Remembrance Ceremony
  • POW/MIA RecognitionRide
  • Wild West Gun Show
  • Aircraft Flyovers
  • VIP Guest Speakers
  • Veteran's Poker Run
  • Veteran's Parade

One of the coolest events is the POW-MIA Recognition Ride into Cripple Creek. Normally, the ride is over 1000 motorcycles that start in Woodland Park and travel the distance to Cripple Creek rolling straight down Main Street to the cheers of many patriotic Americans lining the streets; it's an awesome experience.

Vietnam Memorial Travelling Wall, POW/MIA Remembrance Ceremony, Flyovers, poker runs, guest speakers and parade just to name a few of the things going on during the rally and it all takes place in one of the most scenic places in Colorado.

Don't worry about finding a place to lay your head either. Here is a complete list of lodging so there is surely a place within your means and budget.
