Dennis Haines: Thanks for helping get Honor Flight airborne

Thank you for your article “WWII vets to visit D.C. sites” (Page A1, Oct. 25.) The Community Foundation of Merced County was approached two months ago about helping support the flight from Castle. Several generous donors, who had parents who were WWII veterans, had heard about the Central Valley Honor Flight and requested that funds be made available to support the men and women from Merced County. Thank you to all who made a financial contribution to honor our brave men and women.

Dennis Haines, Merced
