WE WILL ASSEMBLE AT THE WALMART PARKING LOT  (NOT COLONY COTTAGE) TO AWAIT THE BUSES ARRIVING WITH HONORED VETERANS FROM ALL BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY


AND BE THE FIRST TO WELCOME THEM BACK HOME
  
WE WILL THEN ESCORT THE BUSES WITH A
FULL POLICE ACCOMPANIMENT CLEARING THE WAY
FROM THE LESSBURG WALMART TO THE AMERICAN LEGION POST 347 IN LADY LAKE
 
THERE, THEY'LL HAVE A FORMAL "WELCOME HOME CEREMONY"
SPONSORED BY OUR LOCAL "HONOR FLIGHT HUB" AT THE POST.

DUE TO THE LATE HOUR SOME MEMBERS CHOOSE TO LEAVE PROMPTLY AFTER THE ESCORT IS COMPLETED. IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO ATTEND THE CEREMONY OR PROCEED HOME.

JUST COME TO THE WALMART PARKING LOT AND BE PART OF HONORING THESE VETERANS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE. 

TRUST ME, YOU'LL NOT LEAVE WITHOUT SHEDDING A TEAR AFTER PERSONALLY WITNESSING THE EMOTIONS THAT SURFACE DURING THIS SACRED CEREMONY.
