Hey there! Yes! It is finally all coming together! We are now down to all the little details and the rooms are really taking shape. We were all over there today and we took some pictures of how things are moving along. I know that many of you do not live locally so these will be your first view of the room. Just keep in mind that these are the “work in progress” photos! Enjoy! Those who are local? See you Tuesday at 10 am!

The First Hero on The Memorial Wall

I had a great chat yesterday with Lt. Commander Flaherty who will be piloting the P-3 Orion aircraft from Naval Air Station Brunswick, Maine on Tuesday. He will have some 18 men aboard with him to join us for the ribbon cutting. We are all very proud to say that he is a local man who continues to do great things in his community here at home while still serving our great nation. I learned that the Lt. Commander has established a small foundation entitled “First A Dream” and he, in concert with a few of his former teachers back home in Cleveland, NY, attempt to incorporate his military service into their learning. He writes to them from the various locations he travels to around the world and gives the teachers some “real life experiences” that they can extend to the classroom about someone the students already know. Some of these great kids will be attending the opening of the courtesy room on Tuesday to see their hero. It should be a magical time for everyone! More pictures to come!

Thanks!
The Proud Staff of the Gregory J. Harris Military Courtesy Room
