Apr. 16—Honor Flight of Northern New Mexico is looking for World War II and Korean War veterans to sign up to take a free trip to Washington, D.C. in June. The flight has a waiting list of Vietnam War veterans wanting to go on the trip, Honor Flight spokeswoman Shirley Johnson said in an interview.

The nonprofit program, founded in New Mexico in 2013 by private citizens, offers military veterans from the World War II, Korea and Vietnam eras flights to Washington, D.C., as well as free room and meals so they can view the many memorials erected to honor their service.

The deadline for World War II and Korean War veterans to sign up for the trip is April 21. The trip takes place June 19-21.

Interested veterans can fill out an application at honorflightnorthernnm.org or call 505-835-1993.

Quilt heat pump sports sleek design from veterans of Apple, Tesla and Nest
Heating and air conditioning is usually pretty boring stuff, performed by appliance-like boxes with uninspired designs, from sheet metal outdoor units to cheap plastic indoor mini-splits. The heat pump startup unveiled its first products on Wednesday, and they sport the sort of sleek and intuitive designs you’d expect from veterans of Apple, Nest, Google and Tesla. While design is a big part of the appeal, the startup wants to make the entire heat pump experience better.

Matt Garman taking over as CEO with AWS at crossroads
It’s tough to say that a $100 billion business finds itself at a critical juncture, but that's the case with Amazon Web Services, the cloud arm of Amazon, and the clear market leader in the cloud infrastructure market. On Tuesday, the company announced that CEO Adam Selipsky was stepping down to spend more time with his family and recharge a bit, according to his statement. During Selipsky’s tenure, growth for the cloud division has slowed pretty dramatically falling from 33% in Q2 2022 to 12% in Q2 and Q3 2023 before ticking up to 13% and 17% in its two most recent reports -- although to be fair, growth has slowed across the industry, as the space has settled into a more mature state.
