Operation Homecoming

Eighty-six WWII, Korean, & Vietnam Veterans are packing for an amazing experience – we’re just 2 days away.

Thanks to YOU our return to Honor Flights in 2022 will be extra special.

Team – 6 years ago I volunteered to be a Guardian for a Hoosier WWII veteran on my 1st Indy Honor Flight. I’ll never forget what he said to me as we said our final goodbyes after a very long day of the Honor Flight experience.

“Bill I’ve seen a lot of sh* in my day but this was the single best experience of my life”

Knowing he’d landed on Omaha beach on DDay…that said it all. He has since passed away but he gave me a memory I will carry forever. They don’t call it the best generation for nothing.

We thank everyone who assisted in this process – especially the FFB branches who joined in the effort this year & drove in nearly 3,000 of our total count.

Special Thanks to our First Financial Bank Mail Call Captains –Rachel Dougherty & Sandy Volk – you’ve helped absolutely shatter our prior letter collection record.

Collectively Oak Street & participating First Financial Bank retail locations drove in letters from 22 different states – as far as CA for our Hoosier Veterans.
