Tribute to WWII Veterans

The Pima County Republican Party is pleased to announce a “Tribute to WWII Veterans Event” at the Pima Air and Space Museum on Saturday October 10, 2009 starting at 4:30 PM.

This is a non political event, sponsored by the Pima County Republican Party, to pay tribute to the “The Greatest Generation”. “According to Veterans Administration Statistics our WWII Veterans are dying at a rate of 1500 to 2000 a day” stated Walt Stephenson, Event Coordinator. He went on to say” it is our goal to provide a forum in which the Southern Arizona Community can come together and honor our Southern Arizona WWII Veterans who sacrificed so much for so many”. The program will include a buffet style BBQ dinner, 40’s music with the Allston sisters, tram rides of the facility and a special event in the 390th Bomber Squadron for WWII Vets only and their guests. The main event will be held in building 4, home of the B-29 and will begin with a WWII Documentary sponsored by KUAT (Arizona Public Media), then move on to musical entertainment. U.S. Senator John McCain is the keynote speaker, plus we have a few surprises

This event is open to anyone and is free to all WWII Veterans. Monies collected above expenses will go to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project (www.woundedwarriorproject.org ). Please review the flyer and contact me if you have any questions.
