Ford Motor Company Fund Sponsors Honor Flight for 50 WWII Vets

Ford Motor Company Fund Sponsors Honor Flight for 50 WWII Vets
JACKSON, Mich - Ford Motor Company Fund Sponsors a Honor Flight for 50 World War II Vets from Cleveland and other areas of Ohio. This is the third flight this year, and ninth flight total, that Ford Motor Company Fund has sponsored. Being that the 70th anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944, is upon us, the Honor Flights this year are rather significant. Honor Flights are amazing trips organized for eighty to nighty-year-old World War II Honor Flight veterans. These trips give them the opportunity to visit members of Congress, Ford employees and most importantly, the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.  All veterans are accompanied by a volunteer guardian whom will be paying for their own trip. Along with the WWII Memorial, vets and their guardians will also visit memorials dedicated to veterans of the Korean War, Vietnam War, Iwo Jima and the Tomb of the Unknown Solider in the Arlington National Cemetery. 

Ford Motor Company's veteran support began more than 90 years ago when Henry Ford traveled cross-country with 50 Ford Model T's to help transport disabled veterans to their convention. Since 1974, Ford Motor Company and Ford Motor Company Fund have donated more than $8 million to veteran organizations. As apart of the Ford organization, we would like to thank all of those men and women who have served our country. We thank you for all that you do.
