With over 140 applications from local Veterans, Honor Flight SENC has announced that the next flight for local WWII Veterans has been moved up to Wednesday, May 26th. Your help is urgently needed to keep our heroes of the greatest generation flying to their memorial in Washington D.C. Our WWII Veterans are passing away at a national rate of 1,200 per day and within the next 5 to 7 years, most will be gone. Now is the time!

For every Veteran on the flight, Honor Flight SENC needs to raise $400 to cover the flight, tour buses, meals, insurance, memorabilia, etc. (Volunteers on the flight pay their own way). With your help, Honor Flight needs to raise an additional $20,000 over the next two weeks to meet payment deadlines. With everyone’s help, we are confident that they can meet this goal. To make a personal donation today, please go to: http://www.honorflightsenc.org/donate.html.

We also ask that everyone reach out to their family, friends and colleagues and ask them to help pay tribute to our WWII heroes by making a donation to sponsor one of our Veterans. Please forward this urgent request for help to all your affiliates including business partners, churches, civic groups, associations, etc. Donations can be sent directly to Honor Flight of Southeastern NC at P.O. Box 4563, Wilmington, NC 28403 or Donate Online. Any amount given is greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductible. Many of you have already given of your time and treasure to help with this incredible mission & we thank you for that.

The Honor Flight SENC “Welcome Home Event” will also occur again on May 26th at 7PM at ILM Airport. We highly recommend coming early due to parking limitations & anticipated crowd. Please plan to bring all available family and friends and see if we can get even more people out there for our Veterans! Stay tuned for further details on where to meet your fellow REALTORS® & WRAR Members at the airport so we can collectively show our appreciation to these Veterans.
