Please
consider forwarding this email to every veteran, veterans group, or
corporate sponsor that you know. This is great project that has been
undertaken by the veterans of Central Florida. We are attempting to
raise enough funds to book an entire cruise ship. Currently we have 500
staterooms blocked out of 1100. This program is designed to
specifically help Central Florida reservists returning from Afghanistan
and Iraq. These men and women face unique challenges when they return
home. Many, if not most, have lost their jobs due to the economic
downturn. This cruise will provide them with the opportunity to reunite
with their spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, and family without the worries
of paying for this well needed vacation. if we can book the entire
ship the US military has promised several special attractions for the
ship. If the entire ship can be filled with veterans and their families
then the Navy will provide a nuclear sub as an escort out of Port
Canaveral; the Air Force will provide a flyover of F-16’s; General
Norman Schwarzkopf has agreed to be the keynote speaker (for free);
Adrian Cronauer (Good Morning Vietnam) has also offered to be a guest
entertainer. We are working on other attractions/events, but they are
dependent upon booking the entire ship.
The
event listed below is only one of several we have planned. However, it
is the largest and has the potential to raise the largest donations.
Even if you can’t make it to the event please consider donating $15 (or
more) to help send our fellow vets on a cruise. More information on the
“Thank You Veteran’s Cruise” can be found at: http://www.
