I've been selected as a Guardian to escort a WWII veteran to Washington DC on May 25 to tour his memorial and other monuments. The organization sponsoring this trip is called Honor Flight.
The veterans will be given their letters upon departure from DC. They truly are overwhelmed with the response. Nothing fancy.....just a heart felt thank you.

Steve, I was recently told by the VA here that we had a couple of WWII vets here in The Villages. I was quite excited. Lucky you, I can guarantee the trip will be as heartwarming for you as it is for Mr. Johnson.
As a recent military retiree myself, I would be more than happy to write a letter if I could get a few more particulars such as where did he serve, any specific missions, medals etc... Just something to make it more personal.
Thanks for doing what you are doing, and thanks to all who have volunteered to help out this organization. You all are doing a good thing.
