Parents and Scouts:
Our Troop will be attending the
Columbus Honor Flight Reception on April 2nd. If you have
never heard of Honor Flight [http://www.honorflightcolumbus.org], it is a great
event – please plan to attend. As the veterans from WW2 and the Korean
War return from a day in Washington DC visiting the memorials we are going to
be there to welcome them home at the airport.
We are very fortunate that this
trip has one of our own. Mr. Paul Miller, [Todd Miller’s dad] served as
scoutmaster of Troop 136 back in the mid1970’s, and in honor of his service to
both the country and our boy scout troop we will be welcoming him back to
Columbus that night after his day in Washington. [Big Surprise to him! So keep
it a secret if you know Paul]
Plans are to meet at the Church
around 8:00 PM [leave about 8:15 pm] and then travel to Port Columbus, arriving
around 8:40 PM. The plane should be in around 9:00 PM. We will take our
position in the reception area [lower level baggage claim area] and wait for
their arrival. This is a Class A Uniform event. Parents and family
are more than welcome to attend this event.
I you like, you can write Thank
You Notes to have and hand out to the returning Veterans. Small
American Flags to give out will be also a good touch. This is great
opportunity for Community Service hours and if you need them – be there!
