Because The Children Are Heroes Too!

MilitaryConnection= .com is proud to join forces with the M.

Michael Kerr, foun= der of Snowball Express, stated: “I am very grateful to the wonderful corporations that are helping, and to the Rotary Clubs across America<= /st1:place>.  I also appreciate the many non-profits and other organizations such as MilitaryConnection.com, Home front America, A Million Thanks, = and of course the Defense Department’s America Supports You for their wonderful support and assistance.  We want to get the word out to th= ese military families that may not be aware of the program.  This event = will be the first of many to salute these very special children.” <= /o:p>

“I cannot wa= it to see the smiles on the faces of these deserving children, to lighten their burden in some small way,” said Debbie Gregory, President of MilitaryConnection.com.  “We will be doing whatever we can to = help make this event a reality.  I want to challenge all of the great corporate citizens of America to lend a helping hand.  We can move mountains when we work together, and we need everyone’s participation,” Gregory added.

THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER MIDWAY HAS SECURED.......................= ...

a Birddog to restore.  The carrier is currently moored at San Diego, California and will be a floating museum.  As we all recall, then Major Bung Ly a= nd his family of six landed on this carrier during the Fall of Saigon, in April 1975.  Although the original Birddog that the Major flew hangs in the = Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida, the Midway crew plans on restoring their acquired Birddog in the appropriate 1975 markings of Bung Ly's plane.  It will be eventually displayed alo= ng side the many other aircraft that have operated of this magnificent carrier= .

The crew of the Midway has requested the IBDA's assistance in restoring this aircraft.  Should any of you have some fr= ee time to devote to this most worthwhile project, contact Aubrey Brittian at 619/437-4317 or email at = abrittian@midway.org .
