Honor Our Veterans from Past Generations
Love Troop® is supporting First Coast Honor Flight Florida with a Mail Call to show our appreciation for the sacrifices made by past generations of veterans. First Coast Honor Flight’s mission is to take World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam Veterans to visit their War Memorials in Washington D.C. This is a unique opportunity to show our gratitude to these heroes who made it possible for us to enjoy the freedoms we have today.
Love Troop is supporting First Coast flights out of Jacksonville, FL in 2023 with 25 veterans per flight. Each flight has three opportunities to show your love and appreciation by creating cards to be shared with honorees:
- At an orientation event before their trip
- On their trip to Washington D.C.
- At a reunion event a few weeks after their trip
Goals
- Send 1,500 cards (750 per flight – 25+ cards per veteran)
- Raise $1,500 to collect and distribute cards & posters to events
