Still working in support of INWHF

Published 12:59 pm Sunday, August 18, 2013

Dear Editor,

I wanted to start by thanking you all for your support of me and Inland NW Honor Flight over the past few years. I have made some awesome friends and have had the opportunity to meet some wonderful war heroes.

I’m writing you all to let you know that I am moving this month to Wenatchee. Don’t worry – I will continue to raise money for INWHF. I am excited to teach more people in a new area about this great organization and hope to meet even more of our Military Heroes. I plan on heading back to Chewelah next March for another Nacho Dinner – I will keep you posted.

I also wanted to share with you my new website: http://www.jp4vets.com/. Please go check it out and share it with your friends. All of my up to date contact information is there and even a link to INWHF. You can purchase my Hat/Lapel Pins and Wristbands there, or make a donation. And don’t forget to ‘like’ my facebook page Jp4vets too.

Thanks again for all of your support. So far with help from people like you I have raised just over $63,000 for INWHF. I still have a goal of $100,000 before graduating high school. Thanks so very much!

Sincerely,

Justin Peterson

Chewelah, Washington
