HI Central PA.  I hope this last labor day was a time to meet with those you love, work with some people you know or just take a minute to relax.

We are still  on our mission to get volunteers, Veterans, & Guardians for our inaugural trip.  More on that in a future post.

We are planning a good day in Washington DC filled with some great views of  the monuments and memorial erected in the Veterans honor.

Sites include:

• Arlington National Cemetery
• The Marine Corps Memorial ( Iwo Jima)
• The Air Force Memorial
• World War II Memorial
• Korean War Memorial
• Vietnam Wall
• The US Navy memorial

Potential inclusion:

• the US Amy Museum
• Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Smithsonian museum

Hi All we are surely making progress towards launch! We have been meeting and organizing  Many people were able to relax and take it easy.

The 2024 Fall Honor Flight season is just getting ready to launch!

The great folks at HF Chicago allowed me to participate in Mission 117 !

Honor Flight National has been a good group to work with and we have been making steady progress.

Our Current hope is that by September 2025 we will be rolling!

God bless and Take Care All!

I met with Chicago’s Honor Flight Mission 115.  They brought 112 Veterans from Chicago.

They had a big group incoming but an even bigger group 300-400 meeting the veterans as they came off the Jetway.

There was also another group meeting these veterans at WWII.

I will update my mission log with these pictures.

I met with members from Greater Peoria IL, for their honor flight on 6/13/24 They had a large group of veterans +/- 83 if I remember right.  I will be adding their pictures before too long.

I recently completed my 35th mission with Honor Flight. Mission number 6 with AHHF ( Applachain Highlands Honor Flight) this was their 7th mission but I missed the first trip.
