There are about 1 million WWII vets left in the USA. They are dying at a rate of 1200 to 1500 A DAY! That is why Honor Flight's sole purpose is to get as many WWII vets to their memorial in Washington D C as possible. It is a one day trip that also stops at the other war memorials and Arlington National Cemetary. They take any vet who is unable to get there themself. We are a charity who needs the funds to charter a plane, provide transportation on the ground and feed the men. It costs approximately $500.00 per person to get there,$ 80,000 to $ 90,000 per flight. Each escort/volunteer pays their own way so that all funds raised go towards the flight. ALL funds go towards the flight. We are all volunteers, no one gets paid and no funds have to be paid to any administrator. We take any donation. If every Villager would give $ 1.00 that would pay for the first flight. We could use a print shop to help with printing our materials and signage. We currently "borrow" our respective employers copiers to make black and white copies of pamphlets. We don't want to spend any funds for printing so that we can get as many vets to Washington as possible. Please help. For more info go to
www.villageshonorflight.org. If your father, mother brother sister was a vet and is no longer with us please consider a memorial contribution. If thet are alive and would like to go please contact us. We currently have about 100 applications. Thank you. Jim Schafer.
