GREAT NEWS..............
Tom Konieczko & Dave Litrenta enjoyed the Vets Roll a Veterans Organization that takes Vets on a 4 day bus trip to DC to see all the vets site, this is like the Honor Flight.
Dan Kovara & Joe Osterman will be enjoying the "HONOR FLIGHT" in early November.
A number of our Monday Vets have enjoyed the trip: Lloyd Tremmel, Mark Mano,
Terry Toll, Marty Defatte & Bill Horvath to name a few.
Honor Flight is a non-profit service that provides free transportation for U.S. military veterans, particularly those from World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War eras, to visit the national war memorials in Washington, D.C. The trips are organized by local volunteer-run "hubs" under the Honor Flight Network, which provides support and guidelines for their activities. Funding for these trips comes from donations, not government grants, allowing veterans to share in a day of gratitude and remembrance at no cost to them.
