We have once again been invited to attend an exciting event through a joint effort of our good friends, the Gary Sinise Foundation and American Airlines for their "Soaring Valor" program, an honor flight for WWII Heroes to reward their service and sacrifice for our country.
 
80 World War II Heroes will be flown to New Orleans to visit the National WWII Memorial and participate in other activities and events honoring them for 2 days for their gallant service during World War II in protecting our freedom.
 
We at the Patriot Guard are honored that we've been requested to Send Off and Welcome Home the group of Heroes to be gifted with this trip.
 
We will have the honor of meeting, shaking the hand of, and honoring living history!!  These Heroes represent the history of our country, you won't want to miss this!
