We were obliged with a visit by a couple of esteemed members of the Brushy Creek Area Honor Flight earlier today: Mr. Ron Newsum, President; and Mr. Mel Schroeder, Treasurer, arrived to receive a donation from CJ BIO America for the upcoming 26th Honor Flight slated next month to our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., where well over 100 war veterans will be honored for their past service. 🎖️
And they graced us with a wonderful certificate of gratitude!
But it is truly we who are grateful to help sponsor these flights, for if it were not for American servicemembers’ commitment to ensuring and preserving democracy in South Korea over 70 years ago, CJ BIO America - Fort Dodge—including its parent company, CJ CheilJedang, along with all business divisions and global subsidiaries—would not at all exist. ✨
THANK YOU to Ron, Mel, and all Board Members, volunteers, and sponsors who work tirelessly to grant such an amazing gift to area war veterans. 👏
And THANK YOU to all war veterans, past and present, who have sacrificed to guarantee the rights and freedoms we continue to enjoy. 🙌
Word simply cannot suffice the gratitude felt. ❤️
Our local Fort Dodge Messenger published a wonderful profile of the May 2024 Honor Flight earlier this summer that captures the essence of this ongoing tradition: https://lnkd.in/gXMyaYeG
