The PGR has been invited by Honor Flight Southland to attend their next event to honor our Heroes who served in World War II.
 
On October 6, 2017, they will send 36 WWII Veterans to Washington, DC for an all expense paid trip to celebrate their contribution to our freedom and to thank them for their sacrifice.  This group will include one Hero of the age of 101, and one female Hero.
 
This is our chance to thank these Heroes in person, shake their hand, let them know how much they mean to us. These are members of our "Greatest Generation", living history, now is your opportunity to meet them!
 
Please bring your smiles, your hand shakes, your hugs and your flags!
