HONOR FLIGHT for WWII Veterans
There is a Honor Flight trip being planned to travel by RV instead of plane to the WWII Memorial in Washington, DC. The trip is planned for April 24th, but the planner needs to have the names No Later Than February 28th so plans can be made and the proper number of RVs can be scheduled to make the trip. From what I am told, the RVs will carry 4 Veterans each, so there will not be any crowding. If you are one of these Veterans or if you know one who is interested, contact Harvey Jones at (614) 887-8178 NLT Feb 28th so the planning group can get their names and schedule them

How do you tell your children about veterans so they understand what a veteran is, and who our vetera
