Every participant will receive a discount to enjoy yet another adventure at Camp Timber Lake in Huntington, Ind.<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds will help send World War II (WWII), Korean and Vietnam War veterans on an all-expense-paid trip to Washington D.C. to visit the war memorials. Each flight costs around $60,000, and this year, the nonprofit hopes to send nearly 300 military veterans on four separate trips starting this spring.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Time is of the essence as these veterans grow older\u00e2\u20ac\u201dmost them say, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI never received a welcome home 70 years ago,&#8217; and then after the trip, they will come back in tears.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They say, &#8220;&#8216;This is my first welcome home I received. I didn&#8217;t know that my service meant anything to anybody else.&#8217; So this is our way of telling them thank you,&#8221; Brouwer said.<\/p>\n<p>The nonprofit is looking for living war veteran families to come and learn more about the flight program during informative Q&amp;A sessions at the show where they will also share stories from previous trips.<\/p>\n<p>Additional fundraisers for honor flights include proceeds from live fishing, a patriotic chainsaw-carved plane up for auction and the O&#8217;Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram&#8217;s honor wall, which will showcase hometown hero photo submissions collected from WFFT-TV and Indiana NewsCenter leading up to the show. Stations will ask the community to submit votes for $1 to benefit HFNEI.<\/p>\n<p>The National Military History Center out of Auburn, Ind. will have unique military gifts and displays for sale including a vintage 50-caliber water-cooled machine gun and historic 1938 French Latil Model M7T1 vehicle\u00e2\u20ac\u201done of the very few remaining in the U.S. that was actually used in WWII. A M35A2 &#8220;Rolling Thunder&#8221; truck and M38 Jeep will also be shown.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Jan. 24 at 5:30 p.m., military supporters can root for their service during an Air Force vs. Marines, and Army vs. Navy amateur lumberjack competition.

Experts will host ongoing seminars on topics like winter bass fishing, survivalist skills, and then health and fitness to align with New Year&#8217;s resolutions.<\/p>\n<p>Families can enjoy bicycle and kayak test rides, live chainsaw woodcarving demonstrations, archery, air rifle and fly-fishing lessons, and check out a new solar-paneled log cabin.<\/p>\n<p>General admission is $10, but a $2 coupon is available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftwayneallamericanoutdoorexpo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">.
