Old Glory Honor Flights...

Today I had a chance to speak with Lynn Fisher about a wonderful organization named Old Glory Honor Flight that attempts to allow every living WWII vet to visit Washington DC. They will spend the day visiting the WWII Memorial as well as the Iwo Jima Mem. They will then do a bus tour of the city and return to Appleton at night. Please visit the link above to learn more about this very worthy cause...they do need to raise more money as EVERY expense is covered for the Vets.
