Homecoming coordinators Andrea Kannedy and LaTisha Fay, along with other HFD volunteers, will be in the gate area with instructions and information and will be available for questions. Announcements in the gate area typically take place at about 8:30 p.m. Ticket counter representatives will indicate the flight arrival gate.
It’s requested that military participate in uniform if possible.
Anyone attending the upstairs reception at the gate is required to follow behind the veterans to take part in the reception in the lobby/ticket area.
Civilians, friends and family members are encouraged to wear patriotic attire. Enthusiasm, cheering and sign waving are appreciated.
Because the flight does not arrive until 9 p.m., greeters can still attend the reception in the ticket counter area after the veterans deplane and process through security. It is recommended that greeters arrive there by 8 p.m.
Kannedy and Fay may be reached at hfdwelcomhome@gmail.com. Learn more about the Honor Flight Network and Honor Flight Dayton and ways to support them at www.honorflightdayton.org, hfdoffice@woh.rr.com or 937-322-4448.
