8-10-25: I am truly honored to announce that I was selected to serve as a Guardian on the new Honor Flight, Montana’s Continental Divide Honor Flight, in Montana. Our first flight, with 34 veterans will embark on this trip of honor in less than four weeks. We will meet our heroes on September 6, 2025, in Deer Lodge, MT. From there, we take a bus to Bozeman Airport for our flight to Washington, DC. We will spend two nights in the Washington, DC, area to allow enough time for the veterans to tour their Memorials. We return to Missoula Airport on the evening of Monday, September 8, 2025. We are scheduled to honor two Korean Veterans and 32 Vietnam Era Veterans on this inaugural trip.
If anyone is interested in making a donation to support Montana’s Continental Divide Honor Flight, you can make a donation here: https://montanashonor.com
The fortunate guardians who were selected to make this trip, pay their own way. There is, of course, no cost for our honored veterans.

Join us in making a difference for Montana's Continental Divide Honor Flight!

Daniel is the 13-year-old, who was recently sworn in as an honorary Special Agent for the Secret Service. I was so glad to shake his hand, congratulate him on his achievement and wish him well on his recovery. Prayers for DJ❤️
