Help "Honor a Korean War Vet" in DC
Donation protected
I recently joined a group that I really believe is for a good cause. It is called the Honor Flight Network out of the Villages. Honor Flights is a nationwide organization.
The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created in 2004 solely to honor America's veterans for all of their sacrifices.
We fly our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans - World War II, Korean War survivors, alsong with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.
Veterans are transported without cost or expense to them and the guardians and staffs who accompany them pay their own expenses. I am a guardian.
We receive no government funding for our flights or operations. The volunteers are unpaid. All of the operating funds and veteran flight costs are derived from contibutions.
I will accompany retired Warrant Officer III, Tommie Anderson, who served 21 years in the US Army. Born in July 1931, he joined the army on Oct. 15th, 1948. He served 3 tours in Korea and 1 tour in Vietnam. He is a BronzeStar and Purple Heart receipient.
Help me give Tommie Anderson a very memorible day in Washington D.C. on November 2, 2016. All donations will be given to the Villages Honor Flight Network to pay for my flight, meals for Tommie and myself and any other expenses for the day.
Thank you.
