Arnold Air Society – David W Wallace SQ
Las Cruces’s Premier Color Guard
Detachment 505 is proudly represented by the dedicated cadets who perform Color Guard duties as a member of the Blue Knights organization. If you have ever watched the colors posted at an event, or witnessed a flag detail pay respects to the Colors, then you have probably noticed the meticulous nature and synchronous movements of each member. If you want to be a part of a team who knows each others movements so well that not a single flaw can be detected and pay respects to the symbol of our nation, then the Blue Knights organization is for you.
The Blue Knights are well know in Las Cruces and its surrounding areas. They have rendered their services at weddings, funerals, and countless city events, as well as during the execution of AFROTC events. Blue knights training is a year long. During this training you will learn how to post the colors, fold the flag, raise and lower the flag, perform saber arches, retire the colors, and many other time honorable traditions. More information will be given during the first two weeks of school on how to join the Blue Knights.
