The Honors Flight for WWII Veterans is schedule for October 25 ,2014. This event flies WWII veterans from Evansville to Washington, D.C. for the day in which the 70 or so veterans and their guardians will visit monuments, etc.   A great opportunity to say "thanks" and "give back".  For more information visit www.IndyHonorFlight.org/evv.
