Honor Flight Of Southern Indiana: Write a Thank You Card To a WWII Vet!

Ever wanted to somehow say “Thank you for my freedom”?   You can write a Thank You letter to a WWII Veteran!  On the evening of May 30 theye will be returning with 70 WWII Hoosier Heroes from HONOR FLIGHT OF SOUTHERN INDIANA

Having just visited THEIR Memorial at our Nation’s Capital,  they deserve a proper welcome home. Part of this process is MAIL CALL, when they will open letters on their return flight to EVV.   Mail Call is a very touching, very personal way to let our Veterans know that, even after all these years, their sacrifices for our Freedoms have not been forgotten. Each Veteran will receive a Mail Call envelope with dozens of cards and letters, and your help is needed to make this happen! Examples range from a simple card to a hand-written letter and coloring pages from children. Involve your kids, your church, your class, and be as creative as you’d like! Send a whole box of cards and they will be distributed evenly. If you do, please leave the envelopes unsealed, as they are easier to open.  Deadline for inclusion is May 22, 2015.

IF you are writing to a friend or family member, write their name on the envelope in the left lower corner.   Do not send to “Dad” or “Mr. Smith” as there will 70 Vets on the flight.  Here's where to send the cards and letters.
