To date, 1,004 Vets/Caregivers/Volunteers have taken this trip with us over the past five years (ten trips) to see these Memorials. If you are a WWII or Korean War or Vietnam/Vietnam Era Vet in Shelby County (Ohio), contact us to see how you too can join us on the "Honor Bus."

Even more getting ready...

In case you were wondering how all the stuff the Veterans get on departure day gets there, I took a couple of pictures of my house a few days before the trip -- just to show you what goes on behind the scenes.  These were shot in one of our guest rooms.  Fortunately we were not having guests over at the time.

Pam is in the background helping me work through the "assembly line."  The packets on the far wall are finished and ready to go.  The others are still being checked for completeness.


It gets to be quite a busy place for a short time, but it all works out and is really worth it.

By the way, this "assembly line" wasn't confined to just this room.  It went around the room, on the beds, and down the hall.  Had 46 Vet packets at one time.  We did, however, have some drop out of the trip, and we save the packet just in case they come back for the next trip.  That way, we only have to update a few things and they are ready to go.

It may look hectic, but it really isn't.  The key is organization, and having done it several times before.

Hooah
