And we are not one and done. We are also looking to book another flight as early as June. We still need many volunteers and have a Villages Honor Flight club which meets at 1pm on the 2nd and 4th Monday each month at Saddlebrook rec center.

To continue our flights we need more donations as well. There are over 500 WWII veterans at the American Legion alone and our chapter not only supports The Villages but also parts of Sumter, Lake and southern Marion counties. We would like to get as many veterans to Washington as possible.

Thank you for your support,

Just adding my voice even though at this time that's all I can do.
