The Evansville-based law firm Woods & Woods has established itself as an
advocate for disabled veterans, so it was a natural fit to underwrite Honor Flight of Southern Indiana’s next trip.
Early on Oct. 5, 86 veterans, each accompanied by a guardian, will fly from Evansville Regional Airport to Washington, D.C., to tour national military memorials. A parade will greet them upon their return that night.
The Oct. 5 Honor Flight will be the 17th such journey from EVV, and Neil Woods, president of Woods & Woods, recalled attending the welcome home parade for the first one 10 years ago.
“Supporting this organization is a great way to say thank you and honor those who protected our freedoms,” Woods says.
Honor Flight of Southern Indiana President Jerry Blake says the nonprofit, which has flown more than 1,200 veterans to the nation’s capital, is “forever grateful” for Woods & Woods’ $43,000 donation, and it will “make a difference in our . . . mission.”
