Honor Flight in April

Eight WWII Veterans and 17 Korea War Veterans will be taking an all expenses-paid journey of commemoration, reminiscence and reflection April 23^rd to see the WWII Memorial and others in Washington DC. on the Honor Flight.

After a three day trip of camaraderie and memory making, our veterans have a “secret” Mail Call – the very same kind of mail that kept their spirits alive during the war. Please participate in letting our veterans know how much their service has meant to us and that we honor them by writing letters to the 25 attending this flight. Place the letter in an envelope addressed to the veteran. CLICK HERE for the list. Place them in the box outside Kay Robinson’s home by April 11^th: 898 N Kenneth Drive, Quail Creek.
