Do not miss this moving and uplifting experience, when the Vets return home from their special trip. The smile on their faces will make it a memorable evening.
If you are unable to attend, please show your support via Mail Call: The Honor Flight mailbox needs to be filled again. Please help fill it up with thank you cards, letters and notes for the Veterans. Mail call is an important part of each Honor Flight Mission. It’s so easy to let our heroes know you appreciate them and all they have done for our country. Deadline is 2 weeks prior to each flight. Spread the word to your family and friends, schools, civic and church groups etc. Each Mission will include 75-80 Veterans, so that’s lots and lots of mail.

How did Teddy Roosevelt lose the site in one of his eyes in the White House?
Roosevelt was blind in one eye after a boxing injury in the White House. The President continued with his hobby of boxing well into his presidency. He suffered a detached retina in a bout in 1908 and stopped fighting. He switched to jiu-jitsu instead.
