I missed the send off for our Honor Flight Friday and will miss the homecoming today. Illnesses. That good care of them. They are a treasure.

My club has donated thousands.

Where does the money come from in your area?

Around I think I have even seen buckets out. Radio station I believe was doing fund raising too

Please read the link and go _____ yourself. Let's see if you can unthaw the puzzle

This organization is not a part of Patriot Guard.
We Run — They Fly, a Milwaukee-based nonprofit that collects donations for Stars and Stripes Honor Flight.

We don't run donations for families or organizations. We are a non profit org. that does not receive donations for anyone except for the Patriot Guard organization itself.

And that is done directly to the headquarters. We direct those donating to the National office only. We never field any of this money !

Any and all activities done by the Local Patriot Guard is done by our own money on each member to support their own actions as a PGR member. We ask nothing for our services. Only respect for the fallen hero !

It is my honor to do this !!
