SUPPORT VETERANS: THE INDIANA HONOR FLIGHT (SATURDAY, 10/31)
The Purdue Alumni Club has asked the ND Club to join them in supporting the Indiana Honor Flight on Saturday, October 31. The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization that flies veterans from cities all over the country to Washington DC to honor them by transporting them to the various war memorials on the National Mall. There is a group of approximately 200 veterans from the state of Indiana flying in on October 31st. The Notre Dame Club is looking for volunteers for 1) greeting the veterans as they arrive at Reagan National by cheering, etc. as they get off the plane and 2) greeting the veterans at the different memorials themselves (the vets love reflecting on their experiences in the military and it is pretty rewarding to be able to walk around the memorials with them).
For Option #1, we would be looking for volunteers at National Airport for the 8:34am and 9:34am flights. The flights are being called ABLE and BAKER.
•Greeters are asked to arrive at the airport at least 45 minutes early.
•Greeters shall RSVP at http://www.cvent.com/d/2rqyz5 NLT 27 October to get a Gate Access Pass which will allow them to pass security and greet the veterans at the gate upon their arrival
•Greeters who will pass security will be asked to present identification the day of the event at the airport. Children are absolutely welcome and while they will not have to present identification, all children must still RSVP to be on the list.
For Option #2, after the veterans arrive and are transported to the National Mall, folks are welcome to join the veterans as they visit their respective war monuments. Apparently veterans love when there are folks accompanying them. We are waiting for specific details and times, and will pass that info on once we know!
If you are interested in supporting the Honor Flight veterans, please contact MaryKate Robinson @ marykate@alumni.nd.edu and let her know whether or not you plan on supporting Option 1 (airport greeting) or Option 2 (memorial meeting). Thanks!
