June 30 , 2008 Update - Wow What A Week!

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that made it out to the hangar in support of our second flight! As always Grande Aire and Express Jet were great partners in helping us fulfill our mission. A special thanks to Bob Rosencrantz for the great breakfast in the morning; VFW Post 3013 for helping us out with tables and chairs; O.E. Meyer Co. for the Oxygen Concentrators; the 180th ANG; Torrence Sound for the PA system; and we would be remiss if we didn't thank the Genoa American Legion Band, the Patriot Guard & Sgt. Bruce Simmet from the 180th ANG/Lucas Co. Sherrif's Dept. (Mr. Mail Call) that helped put the finishing touches on the day! Photographs (April 30th) and links to stories are available by clicking here. More pictures will be coming soon so check back often.

We are looking for auction items to be donated to the cause.  If anyone has an idea of someone who may donate an item but you are not comfortable approaching them to do so, please let me know and I will contact them or ask someone from the auction team to do so.  Some of you may have contacts with dealers that may consider donating a new vehicle or boat, weekend package getaways or know someone willing to auction off a week of their time share property.  If any of you have contacts with sports figures, sports memorabilia is a hot item at these type of events so please make the contact or let me know and I will ask the appropriate person to do so.  This will be a great event and will be incredibly helpful to Honor Flight; however, we need to do our part to help make this a success.  If you have any ideas, please send them my way.
 
Thank you for your consideration!

Do you know of a World War II veteran or any terminally ill veteran who would like to see their memorial but can't? Let us know who they are and we will do what we can to fly them to Washington D.C. free of charge.
Would you be willing to become a trained guardian to aid the veterans with safety and mobility around the airports, buses and memorials? Guardians pay their own expenses so 100% of the contributions can go towards the veteran's flights to and from Washington. We also need support people for local events and activities to coordinate and promote our cause!
