Representatives and Honor Flight board members and volunteers will be in the gate area with instructions and information, and they will be available for questions. Announcements in the gate area typically take place at about 8 p.m. Ticket counter representatives will indicate the flight arrival gate.
It’s requested that military participate in uniform if possible.
Civilians, friends and family members are encouraged to wear patriotic attire. Enthusiasm, cheering and sign waving are appreciated.
Since the flight does not arrive until 9 p.m., greeters can still attend the reception in the ticket counter area after the veterans deplane and process through security. It is recommended that greeters arrive there by 8 p.m.
Andrea Kannedy, one of the “greeting” organizers, is the homecoming point of contact at 937-974-7268 and hfdwelcomehome@gmail.com.
