June 18 – Honor Flight Arizona: This group has two missions: to pay homage to our World War II and the Korean War veterans by providing a three-day journey of honor and remembrance to the memorials in Washington, D.C., at no cost to them and to educate the youth about the impact of World War II, the Korean War and the freedoms our nation enjoys because of these veterans.
Rick Hardina, president and East Valley Liaison of Honor Flight Arizona, will present information about the many veterans who have taken this trip and how much it has meant to each of them.
June 25 – Veteran’s Heritage Project: Young students benefit greatly from the lessons our military veterans share about serving our country, overcoming obstacles and to put others before self.
