In the case of the CP Honor Flight Project. Since March of
2008, the Council and hundreds of volunteers have received
over $450,000.00 in donations, focused thousands of
volunteer hours to sponsor 10 multi-day itinerary Honor
Flights to Washington DC at large. 834 WWII Veterans and
their Guardians have attended banquets, toured 11 Memorials,
the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington, Smithsonian Museums,
The Marine Museum, the Holocaust Museum and Ft. McHenry.
With 650+ WWII Veterans still waiting the CP Honor Flight
Committee is determined to fly all WWII Veterans as able,
and then the Korean and Vietnam era Veterans in their turn
to acknowledge their sacrifice and determination to preserve
freedom throughout the world. |
