In a presentation on Saturday, July 13, Kimberling City American Legion Post #637 was pleased and honored to donate $1,700 to Honor Flight of the Ozarks. The amount of the donation will sponsor one U.S. veteran and their guardian/companion on the next Honor Flight.
Honor Flight of the Ozarks is part of a nationwide organization that provides no-cost trips to Washington D.C. for veterans of America’s wars. They are taken on an escorted tour of America’s War Memorials, Armed Services Memorials, and museums. Flights are scheduled from the Springfield airport, and returning flights are met by families, friends, an Honor Guard/Color Guard and music. For the Veterans, it is quite an emotional experience; for some, this is the welcome home they deserved and did not get following their service.
For Honor Flight information, to sign up a veteran, or to serve as a volunteer, contact 417-268-9052 or visit https://www.honorflightoftheozarks.org. The next flight is currently scheduled for August 14, with another planned for October 2024.
