There is another flight scheduled to leave this fall and donation are still needed so other WWII veterans can get the chance to visit Washington DC.Locally in Mantorville this Saturday, April 26th there will be an Adopt-A-Veteran benefit supper from 5-8 pm at the Mantorville VFW #4555. The menu will be Top the Potato, cole slaw, bread and bars. Contact Rose Harris at 635-5789 for any questions.
My brother Terry is part of the Soldier's Field Veterans Memorial committee and they are currently raising funds for the second Honor Flight scheduled for October. My father Warren, is 83 years old and in the Merchant Marines, will be on that flight with Terry as his guardian this fall.
