Gathering of Warriors at the Pima Air and Space Museum–Veterans of WWII

We are proud to announce a very special event at the Pima Air and Space Museum Saturday, October 10. This event is to honor our Arizona WWII Veterans, both men and women, who gave so much to our country in time of war. The gates will open at 4:30 PM with KUAT starting the program, in hanger 4, with their “Tucson Remembers WWII” one hour TV special. Starting at 5 PM U.S. Senator John McCain, AZ Governor Jan Brewer and other VIP’s are scheduled for a meet and greet with the WWII Veterans and their guests in the 390th Bomber Group Hanger. This meeting will be open to the media but you must contact me if you wish to attend as arrangements have to be made for your transportation with the Pima Air and Space Museum Staff.

At about 5:45 PM we will bring everyone back to hanger 4 where the program will start. A band and group singing music from the 1940’s will be underway as we transition into hanger 4 and start the program. Senator McCain will speak at about 6:15 and the Governor later in the program.

We expect in excess of 600 people in attendance with more than 100 of these being WWII Veterans. Having talked to number of these men and women on the phone I can attest to the fact each one has a very unique and interesting story to tell. I wish we had time for all of them to be told. If you have questions or wish to attend the meeting in the 390th Bomber Group Hanger please call me
