ABOUT THE MISSION:
Talons Out Honor Flight has invited the Patriot Guard Riders for an “Honor Flight” day and shake the hand of a hero! This is your chance to say thank you at this FREE family event. Join us and thousands of your friends, family and neighbors in honoring The Greatest Generation as they return from “One Last Mission” and give them a homecoming they will never forget!! An Honor Flight is an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. for our WWII Veterans to visit the memorials built in their honor. For many, this is the last trip they will ever make, as most of our veterans are in their late 80’s and 90s. We are losing them at a rate of 500 per day and time is running out.
This is the 11th Honor Flight mission for Talons Out and the PGR has been with them for each mission. We’d love to have everyone join us to welcome our flight home at Kalamazoo Christian Middle School on 12th Street. Bring your lawn chairs and your flags and shake the hand of a hero.
There will be entertainment and sign making. We expect our veterans to arrive at approximately 9:00 pm. There will be shuttles to return veterans and families to the airport.
