Mike Voegele will be a part of an Honor Flight on September 27th. If anyone is interested in sending a letter for the mail call we would love people to participate. The mail call is  a special part of the Honor flight and the letters are delivered to the veterans on the return flight home. This is a surprise. The veterans know they are going on the honor Flight but they are not aware of the mail call. The letter can be as simple as a thank you for your service and as in depth as a personal experience with Michael. The letters need to be mailed by August 27th. I have included a short Biography of Michael's military career HERE! 
Thank you for considering this project. Please Remember this is a SURPRISE.  Contact Shaun Voegele for more information.
Please Mail the letters to:
