Honor Flight is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's WWII and terminally ill veterans for all their sacrifices. Seventy Five percent (750) of the funds raised will be utilized to fly our WWII heroes to Washington, DC to visit and reflect at their memorials. The remaining Twenty-Five percent (25%) of the funds raised will be retained by the Friends of Public Safety, Inc to be utilized in its mission to provide support to the Tequesta public safety personnel in time of need and to continue with the construction of the memorial project. The event is being planned for November 8, 2014 from 2pm to 6pm at Paradise Park. We will be bringing in a stage for live entertainment, 8- to 10 port-a-potties, tables and chairs for approximately 300 people, 33-1Ox10 folding tents for Chili teams and corporate sponsors and plan on hiring as many Police Offices as the Police Chief feels is appropriate for the event. On the day of the event we request the ability of the on duty crew to assist with the setup and breakdown of the event. We would like to utilize the Aerial truck by extending the boom and draping an American Flag from in it to honor all our fallen heroes. All Firefighters working the event will be off duty. On duty personnel may be needed to assist in some of the planning, along with answering questions to the citizens of Tequesta on event details. None of the above requests will interfere with the operations of the department. 1
