∴ VETERANS GAVE THEIR TIME TO PROTECT YOU ∴

Now is the time for you to express your appreciation to the 60 veterans who are going on the next Honor Flight for their service. Sponsored by Honor Flight Southern Arizona, the March 26-28 flight will include a tour of the many National veterans’ memorials in Washington, DC.

If you are hitting a stumbling block on what to say to someone you do not know, here is one suggestion: “Often, we do not dwell on the dangers that face our servicemen and women as they work to protect our freedom. I honor and celebrate you. You put your life on the line for millions of Americans through your service in our armed forces. I am so grateful to you for all that you have done for all of us!” For more ideas, here are example letters/notes starters».

The veterans will read your letters during Mail Call on their flight home. These letters really make the day for veterans who believe no one appreciates their service or who have forgotten about them.

Drop notes and letters in the collection box at 2719 E. Sawyer Rd, Green Valley (Quail Creek) by MARCH 4.

Questions? Contact TWOQC’s liaison at HonorFlight@womenqc.com. You may also check on the status of flights at: honorflightsaz.org.
