The volunteers that accompany the vets pay their own way. We need all kinds of volunteers, support at fundraisers, fundraising ideas and, of course, money. You can get more info at Villages Honor Flight Network, or you can see us at Market Night on both squares. Thanks
What a wonderful organization. Count me in!

And how true....time is of the essence.

(Lexi, the "dawg" is the Navy Seabees Mascot. I think she will be giving a donation as well).

Thank you for making us aware of this.
