BFT friends. I really appreciate you all supporting this event each year. What Trevor really needs from this thread is a reply or PM with your boat type, length, and the max number of vets you could take out. If you are volunteering for that please send him that info.

Thank you all again for your great support for this event.

This is maybe 1/10 of the thousands of flags placed at the Utah Veterans Memorial Park for veterans day 2015.

Some gave all, we can give an afternoon back.

[font "Calibri"]In 1776, our Nation’s founders immortalized their vision of a free nation by signing the Declaration of Independence. With an abiding belief in certain unalienable rights—to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—they sought to create a federal republic separate from Great Britain and founded on a unique blend of traditions and values.[/font]

[font "Calibri"]Today, we hold these truths just as closely, demonstrating our conviction through our service to America. As we recognize and celebrate the 240th anniversary of the birth of our Nation, let us give thanks for the vision of our Founding Fathers, and especially for those who have pledged to serve our country. We especially reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for and helping to preserve our freedoms; and, we express our gratitude to their families who will always bear that most difficult burden.[/font]

[font "Calibri"]Last year, approximately 50,000 Total Force Airmen deployed worldwide, while thousands of Airmen directly supported combatant commander requirements from their home stations. It is with great pride and honor that we join a grateful Nation in thanking each and every one of you for your service and sacrifice. [/font]

[font "Calibri"]Please join me in showing our gratitude for a job well done![/font]
