My grandfather was in WWII, he helped liberate a few **** Concentration camps and is truly a role model with some amazing stories. Most that nobody will ever know. There is a WW2 Honor flight for Vets of the war. This is to be a great memory for those that served.

There will be a "Mail Call" for them on the way home. Just like today, but without email, guys lived only for their mail call and to escape from the harsh realities of war. I know you guys don't know my Grandpa, Erl Pedersen, but I would love to flood him with letters of support and love for what he and those that never made it back had to endure.

I have a couple attachments that help to explain a little more of the specifics. The below links are to some of stories about this

I thank all of you in advance for your support! I know he will appreciate it and thank EVERY one of you!!!

Thanks again,

Mike
