We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand
fibers connect us with our fellow-men; and along those fibers, as
sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as
effects.

Medical Personnel Ready for Inaugural Honor
Flight Fayette Trip on May 14th
4/2/08 (11:25 a.m.) Volunteer Fayette County medical personnel have been meeting
with Honor Flight Fayette President Gail Sparrow and nurses Linda Payne and
Nancy Romans in preparation for the much anticipated May 14th flight to
Washington D.C. with 70 World War II veterans aboard. In fact, so many
emergency medical technicians and paramedics signed up for the trip that there
is a waiting list for future flights. There is also a doctor who will be
traveling with the group.
Members of the non-profit organization, Honor Flight Fayette,
are volunteers whose sole purpose is to say a tangible "thank you" to the
veterans of WWII who have made so many of our freedoms today possible. The one
day trip is free to the veterans and will include air fare, meals, ground
transportation and commemorative gifts. Accompanying them, in addition to the
medical personnel, will be guardians who will pay their own way to spend their
time assisting the veterans with any help they may need during the trip.
The World War II Memorial was not completed until 59 years
after the war ended and the "youngest" veteran of that war is now 79 years of
age. Because we are sadly losing these men and women at the rate of 1,200 or
more per day it is obvious that time is of the essence for us to show our
gratitude and ask ourselves, "at what cost did they secure my freedom and how
can I repay them"?
Honor Flight Fayette is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization
with a dedicated board of directors to guide the effort. Donations may be made
in honor or memory of someone, used to pay a veterans way ($400) or used toward
their meals, etc. If you would like to know how you can help in this most
worthwhile cause, please check honorflightfayette.org or call 770-719-1024
