SUMMARY:GA WWII Heritage Trail Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:Happy Fourth Anniversary to our Trail Partners!  On February 16\, 2021\, the Georgia WWII Heritage Trail was launched. “Discover Georgia’s legacy of inspiring wartime stories at the sites that make up the new World War II Heritage Trail. Southern states were critical to the war effort during World War II (1941-1945)\, and none more so than Georgia. Over 300\,000 Georgians served in the military\, and thousands of civilians worked in rapidly expanding defense industries. Ten sites across the state have partnered to bring a new experience to visitors\, families\, and groups.”  We are now eleven Partners with more stories to tell of the Greatest Generation. See you on the Trail.

SUMMARY:Pearl Harbor Day Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:The WWII Flight Training Museum in collaboration with the Douglas Coffee County Veterans Park Committee will host the Annual Pearl Habor Remembrance Day Event at the WWII Flight Training Base in Douglas\, Georgia.  The event is on Friday December 6th at 10a.  \nClass 1942-D\, the first class of aviation cadets arrived at the 63rd Flying Training Detachment (Primary) in Douglas\, Georgia on October 5\, 1941.  They completed their training here on December 12\, 1941\, before they went on to further training.  These young men arrived to learn to fly and left to prepare for combat.  So\, it is fitting this year’s Pearl Harbor Day event be held on the historic WWII Flight Training Base and newly dedicated Cadet Park. \nThe program includes a welcome by the Mayor of Douglas\, presentation of the Colors by Coffee High JNROTC cadets\, the pledge of allegiance and singing of our National Anthem by students from Citizens Christian Academy students\, local American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars essay winners\, and flyover by a PT-17 Stearman.  WWII reenactors plan to be present with special displays. The Museum will also be open for tours.  \nCome join us as we “Remember Pearl Harbor” and what this day means to our Nation’s history.  Will we see you there?

SUMMARY:Veterans Day Bells of Peace
DESCRIPTION:The WWII Flight Training Museum in conjunction with the Douglas Coffee County Veterans Park Committee and South Georgia State College plans to broadcast the Bells of Peace over the college giant voice alert system. With the destruction from Hurricane Helene to the college campus\, this may not be possible. We ask that you access the Bells of Peace webapp on your smartphone or computer at https://2023.bellsofpeace.org/index.php/your-bells-webapp.  \nThe Bells of Peace marks a National U.S. remembrance initiated in 2018\, to honor the WWI Armistice on its 100th anniversary. Ever since\, the Doughboy Foundation has promoted the annual remembrance with tens of thousands having rung the Bells of Peace at 11am on Veterans Day\, to salute all Americans who served their nation in both conflict and times of peace.  \nThe event includes countdown to Bells of Peace\, the tolling of the bells 21 times\, followed by a moment of reflection\, selection of readings\, then the playing of Taps. We asked everyone to toll the bells on Veterans Day. It is our hope that this becomes an annual event for you to honor all who served in our Nation’s military. Will you toll the bells?

SUMMARY:Cadet Park and Charles Loring Memorial Groundbreaking
DESCRIPTION:The City of Douglas and the WWII Flight Training Museum are excited to announce the groundbreaking for the Charles Loring Memorial at the newly named Cadet Park on the historic WWII Flight Training Base in Douglas. Rescheduled due to Hurricane Deby\, the Groundbreaking will now be Monday September 9\, 2024\, 10a at 1 Airport Circle. Cadet Park aims to honor the aviation cadets who underwent primary flying training in Douglas and Major Charles J. Loring\, Jr.\, Class 1943-B and Medal of Honor recipient.  \nThe Airbase\, home of the WWII Flight Training Museum\, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Nearly 10\,000 aviation cadets were here to learn to fly. Charles Loring was a P-47 Thunderbolt pilot and POW during WWII. In Korea\, he led four P-80 Shooting Star jets against enemy gun emplacements. Hit by ground fire\, Loring dove his cripple jet into the enemy position. With the guns silenced\, the other three aircraft safely returned to base. For his actions\, he posthumously received our Nation’s highest honor for valor. On July 27\, 2024\, the Republic of Korea bestowed their Nation’s highest honor to Major Loring for his bravery and sacrifice.  \nIf you can’t attend the groundbreaking\, stop by the Museum\, and watch the progress as this project becomes a reality.
