Review for Veterans Airlift Command, Saint Louis Park, MN, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra hosts three annual Wounded Warrior events at Mammoth Mountain, CA. We are a 7-8 hour drive away from the Balboa Naval Medical Hospital in San Diego and this long drive is hard to take for many of our Wounded Warriors. Luckily this is where the Veteran Airlift Command comes in! They fly the wounded men and women, wheelchairs, service dogs,extra prosthetics, and staff from San Diego to the Mammoth/Yosemite Airport. Jennifer Salvati's expertise in coordinating the undertaking is extraordinary! She orchestrates the flights like a maestro.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

very positive ways! They have made the travel experiences of the Wounded Wareriors much more pleasant than having to drive 7 to 8 hours!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

working with Walter Frike and Jen Salvati! My hat goes off to them both!

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

FABULOUS!!!

Ways to make it better...

more of the pilots had larger planes that could handle inclement weather conditions.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every six months

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
