Olentangy Liberty High School DECA club raises $10,000 to sponsor flight.

Three OLHS DECA students (marketing class) - Michael Cerutti, Stephanie Mielke, Mariah Torres do year-long project, Operation Macto, focused on the past (WWII veterans/Honor Flight Columbus), present (platoon in Afghanistan) & future (raising awareness). Through a variety of fundraisers and radio spots, they raised $10,000 to fund an Honor Flight trip.

The ability to fly comes from the donations made by Americans who appreciate what the World War II veterans did for us.

The trip costs the veterans nothing; they have already paid with their outstanding service to our nation.

It takes about $13,000 to make a trip possible:
     $300 per veteran,* which totals $8,500 for tickets (guardians pay for their own airline tickets); and
    $1,400 for a motor coach to move the vets and their guardians around the Washington, D. C. area;
    $440 for Honor Flight shirts for the vets;
    $700 for morning coffee, lunch and dinner;
    $350 for copies of the Jewel of the Mall photo book given to each vet;
    $180 for disposible cameras to capture the individual memories;
    And about $1,400 for ponchos, postage, printing, and many other items needed to make the flights the memorable events that they are for the veterans.

Trips are funded by donations from people like you who understand that we are running out of time to honor these heroes! All the effort and work to get Central Ohio veterans to thier memorials is done by volunteers. Honor Flight Columbus has no paid staff. This hard work is done out of admiration for these men and women.
