On this Veteran's Day, a message from Adjutant of the Galva Sons of the American Legion: First, Thank You to all of our Veterans out there for everything they have done and sacrificed. I have been fortunate to have been involved with Honor Flight of the Quad Cities since 2011. Over the years, I have been involved in raising awareness and money to help send our Veterans on an honor flight. Most humbling, I have had the honor and privilege of escorting our WWII, Korea, and Vietnam Veterans to D.C. 7 times through Honor Flight of the Quad Cities. Several of these Veterans were from Galva and the surrounding area. HFQC has now opened the door to Veterans after Vietnam including Lebanon/Grenada, Panama, and the Gulf War/War on Terrorism Veterans. If you have a Veteran in your life, that should be honored by taking this trip, please visit either https://honorflightqc.org/ for the Quad Cities, or https://www.greaterpeoriahonorflight.org/ for Greater Peoria Honor Flight.
In Memory of my First Veteran taken on Honor Flight, William Honn. USMC 6th Division "The Fighting 29th." Veteran and survivor of 3 Japanese Island landing invasions- Guadalcanal, Tarawa & Saipan. He Served in the 2nd & 6th Marine Divisions During WWII from July, 1942 - September, 1945 Served as a machine gunner, qualifying as sharpshooter. Awarded three stars for Beach Heads - Guadal Canal, Tarawa, and Saipan. Awarded the Bronze Star for Gallantry in action. Also received the Unit Presidential Citation for action in Tarawa. Recommended for the Silver Star for Action in Guadal Canal. Also awarded the Purple Heart.
