In Case You Missed It

Last week's presenter was Pam Ramer on WWII Honor Tour.  WWII Honor Tours are a way to recognize all of our veterans for their service to our country.  Most of the WWII veterans are over 80 years old.  These trips are at no expense to the veteran.  The entire trip is paid for by generous supporters of the WW II Honor Tour. Pam shared a moving presentation that included a slideshow with photographs from the previous Honor Tour in 2008.  Pam is gearing up for the next trip from May 13-16.  Please help support the next Honor Tour and our veterans by lining the bus route on May 13th at 9 a.m.   To make a gift to WWII Honor Tour contact Pam Ramer at 563-299-0948 or American Legion Post 27, 110 S. Houser Street, Muscatine.  Thank you Pam for all of your hard work to honor our WWII veterans your service is making a difference in so many individuals lives.
