Isabelle Denman of Blue Ridge Honor Flight recently reached out to Mr. Larry Pickens to ask for his assistance with a project. Blue Ridge Honor Flight’s mission is to transport America’s Veterans to Washington, DC to visit the memorials dedicated to honor the service and sacrifices of themselves and their friends. On their flight back home the veterans are given letters to read from American citizens. Mr. Pickens reached out to one of his colleagues at Franklin High School, English teacher Mr. Tyler Faetz. Mr. Faetz encouraged his students to write their own handwritten letter to a veteran for this project. Blue Ridge Honor Flight was thrilled to receive the heartfelt letters from the high school students. We hope the veterans will enjoy them as well.
