WWII Honor Flight, Conyers, GA, 20 September 2016
Honor Flight Conyers Escort for 2016 will take place on 20 September 16. For those who have never been on one of these escorts should talk to someone who has, and when you do you should be excited and pumped up. Just like our Heroes of the Greatest Generation will be, as they board busses for the early morning trip to the Atlanta Airport for their flight to Washington D.C.to visit their Memorials.
VERY IMPORTANT I need for those that are going to attend this ESCORT to include your name (Not your road name or aviator name) to our Delta Airlines Point Of Contact Sheri.R.Mullins@Delta.com, Their Name, Date of Birth along with all the additional information on the front of your Drivers License. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE so information can be confirmed. and gate passes can be issued to everyone, so they can get through the medal detectors and to the terminal where our veterans will be departing for Washington DC for a day they “will never forget” “Not my words,” theirs. FYI: Delta is giving me a 15 Sept. 2016 cut off date for submitting gate pass info.
The veterans will be arriving at the Legion Post starting around 4 AM. I ask that everyone be at the Legion NLT 04:15 so as we can help with the unloading of the wheel chairs, and to simply mingle with our veteran, as the start the very long day before them knowing that they are indeed very special to us all. Believe me the early morning trip is well be worth it.
We kick stand up approx. 04:15 from American Legion Post 77 in Conyers, Georgia with a full escort to Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. We will be escorted by the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Department, Newton County Sheriff’s Department, and the Georgia Patriot Guard Riders. The veterans will load the busses to the cheer of well-wishers and a fanfare of patriotic music played by members of the Rockdale County High School Band.
Gate Passes: If you think you may have something on you that will set off the security, you probably do. Put it in your Scoot. Security will be provided while we are in the terminal with those who humbly except the title of Members of the Greatest Generation.
