The reunion will be held beginning at 1 p.m.at the North Lake Presbyterian Church, 975 Rolling Acres Road, Lady Lake (behind Home Depot.) Light refreshments will be served and entertainment provided.

This will be a celebration of all veterans, especially since almost all of the area World War II veterans have now flown and Villages Honor Flight is beginning to concentrate on our Korean War Veterans.

Villages Honor flight has flown more than 500 Veterans, each with their own personal Guardians, on 23 missions, beginning in 2012.  Six flights are planned for 2016, including two “flightless” missions.
