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 April 15, 2018, 36 WWII Veterans, including one female Veteran, will return from their all expenses weekend in Washington, D.C. sponsored by Honor Flight Southland.
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!
The Honor Flight program Nationwide has assisted over 200,000 WWII Vets on trips to Wash DC over the last many years, the Southland Hub has run very short of WWII Vets, this may be the last group. Next they will be collecting applications for Korea Vets and Vietnam Vets.
Part 2 will consist of their return and we will form a Flag Line at their baggage area terminal and help with luggage if needed
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Military Veterans.
