SW FLORIDA 
  
  For the past several months, a
  strong effort is being made here in
  SW Florida by CPO Don Vecoli,<p>USN Ret, a Veteran's service
  Officer for Charlotte County and a
  member of the FLCPOA to collect
  from not only</p>
	<p>&nbsp;veterans but the
  civilian population enough money to
  send as many of the few remaining
  Southwest Florida</p>
	<p>&nbsp;veterans of
  World War II by air
  transportation to Washington, DC
  to view their memorial.  
                          
  
  
                   DON VECOLI 
  
  This effort</p>
	<p>&nbsp;goes by the name of
  "HONOR FLIGHT – WWII".
  
  The first flight will leave from
  Fort Myers on September 13th</p>
	<p>&nbsp;returning early the next morning. 
  As of August 21st, he has 59 Vets
  signed up to go.   
  
  Funding for this effort is thru</p>
	<p>&nbsp;donations from both the public and
  the veterans association here in
  Florida.  The SW region
  "cumshawed" a</p>
	<p>&nbsp;brand-spanking-new
  2008, 1500 cc scooter and are
  raffling it off and will sell only a
  maximum of 1000 tickets at</p>
	<p>&nbsp;$10.00 bucks a pop.  The odds are
  great for winning!  Don also hosted
  a PIG ROAST on Saturday
  September</p>
	<p>&nbsp;16th at American Legion
  Post 103 in Punta Gorda.  This
  event sold 250 tickets and a meal
  well worth the $7.50</p>
	<p>&nbsp;with all
  profits going to the HONOR
  FLIGHT kitty.

	<p>So fellow chiefs – this is why we
  adopted our motto….
  
  Si Aliquid Fiere Vultis, Rogage
  Principem!
