From the LVRJ: The nonprofit Honor Flight Southern Nevada organization that will take World War II veterans to see memorials and monuments in the Washington, D.C. area on Oct. 11 will hold a pancake breakfast fundraiser Friday at Red Rock Harley-Davidson.
Director Belinda Morse said donors can purchase $5 tickets for the breakfast at Red Rock Harley-Davidson, 2260 S. Rainbow Blvd., between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. Friday.
Honor Flight Southern Nevada was founded in June as a part of the national Honor Flight network, established in 2005. Honor Flight events are dedicated to honor U.S. veterans for all their sacrifices.
The local organization is an all-volunteer group with a simple mission: to fly World War II veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials that were built in their honor.
“There is no cost for the veteran to make the trip, as the trip is funded by donations from a generous community,” Morse said.

This is a worthwhile event to help those who served our country during WWII.
(And not to toot my own horn, but I helped get the ball rolling with Honor Flight a few years ago but the other people have done a great and wonderful job creating and running the program)
