Part 2 of 2 PartsWe 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!
These events will take place at LAX, the Send Off on Wednesday, 13 April, and the Welcome Home on Friday, 15 April.
Part two will be the return of these Heroes from their wonderful tribute trip to New Orleans. There is never enough we can do for these Heroes who served so gallantly in World War II to protect our country and our freedom. There are so few of them left!!
Please come out and show them how much you appreciate them and remember them, now's your chance! Bring your flags, your smiles, your handshakes, your hugs, and be prepared for a wonderful event!
