3 Residents at The Windham to take Honor Flight

FRESNO, Calif. - Oct. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- FRESNO, CA – October 23, 2013   In honor of our veterans, Honor Flight Network has a way of paying a small tribute to those who gave so much, offering “one more tour with honor” to visit and reflect at the memorials in Washington D.C.  Three residents at The Windham (http://www.kiscoseniorliving.com/communities_windham.asp), a Kisco Senior Living community, will be taking the “Tour of Honor” through the Central Valley Honor Flight (http://cvhonorflight.org/) chapter on October 29^th including two WWII veterans, Homer Acosta and Bill Bromm, andJoy Neal, a guardian/volunteer, along with 70 other WWII veterans and 73 guardian volunteers.

One hundred percent of all donations raised by the Honor Flight chapter goes toward funding the flights. “Everything about this Central Valley Honor Flight is inspiring,” said Leah Kidwell, Wellness Director for The Windham and currently serving on the Central Valley Honor Flight board.  “The Honor Flight is a ‘Fresno First’ and incredible community support is being shared by airport personnel and TSA,  military personnel, ROTC members, the VA, the VFW, Windham residents, local Peoples Church, the Fresno State marching band and cheerleaders, a military fraternity and a host of other volunteers ages 15-90.”

Leah and the Honor Flight board of Directors are organizing a send-off event at the Fresno Airport, with the general public encouraged to arrive at 5:15 a.m. as well as a “Welcome Home” Event on the 31^st, with guest speakers, band and cheerleaders for the festivities.  Attendees should plan to arrive at the airport, for the “Welcome Home” at 4:30 p.m. to allow time for parking and not miss the Fresno State Band.

If you would like to help decorate for the events or learn more about getting involved with Honor Flight, please contact Leah Kidwell at 559-449-8070 or lkidwell@kiscosl.com.
