The Women of Quail Creek honor and appreciate the Veterans and let them know it!  Thank you. The response to write letters to the Veterans attending the Honor Flight #20 has been so generous. To date 312 letters have been received and forwarded to Honor Flight. There will be tears of gratitude during “Mail Call” on their flight home.
