Veterans Airlift Command Offers Service to Wounded Veterans Date: July 16, 2008 by Carl Cronk    The Veterans Airlift Command provides free air transportation to our wounded Heroes, Veterans and their families for medical and other compassionate purposes through a national network of volunteer aircraft owners and pilots.  Their priority are the veterans of Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan).  As capacity allows their mission will extend to serve other veterans of other conflicts.   Honorary Chairman of their National Advisory Board Senator Bob Dole says "As a wounded war veteran, I know first hand how important the support of your family is in your recovery. It was only through my faith, the skill and determination of the medical staff and the loving support of my family that I was able to recover from my injuries. For those soldiers and their families who sacrifice so much for our great nation, an organization like VAC is a Godsend.    Honorary Vice-Chair of the National Advisory Board General Richard B. Myers says "Taking care of our wounded troops is a top priority. The government administers primary care, but we also rely on generous Americans, such as those affiliated with VAC. Their support to our nation's service members, as well as to their families, plays an integral role in raising morale and aiding the healing process. The service they provide is both unparalleled and unwavering and shows that America really appreciates all their sacrifices."     Veterans Airlift Command can be found at http://www.veteransairlift.org  If you wish to write to them the address is Veterans Airlift Command, 5775 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 700, St. Louis Park, MN. 55416.
