SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT –     Veterans Honor Flight – STEVE OLSON – (TOP SECRET!)
Steve Olson, CUMC member and our dear friend – is a Navy Veteran and is invited for the Midwest HONOR FLIGHT on June 3rd, 2025
From Sioux Falls IA with his brother.
Part of the day’s agenda is that they receive letters of gratitude and appreciation from friends and family – the Mail Call is a very personal and touching way to let Steve know, that even after all these years, his sacrifices are still so appreciated.
Examples range from: a simple card, a handwritten letter or a coloring page from a young child.
Those handmade cards are always quite the treasure for them. So if you so wish, please prepare a letter for Steve wit the specific address below
