Wings of Mercy provides wings to those in need - folks that need to get to a hospital or clinic but have no way to get there, or that are not candidates for commercial airline flights due to costs involved, physical condition, or the inability to handle the length of time required to fly airlines. Patients range from infants to the elderly, from cancer treatments to transplants.

Veteran's Airlift Command allows us to give back to those that have given so much for our country. It is expensive for the volunteers, but I, for one, would give hundreds more if it wer epossible to bring these young men home unharmed. Such is not the world we live in, so we are called to do what we can to help. I appreciate this opportunity to serve our soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, and - ultimately - my country.
