Eat 'Lunch With A Hero' in Sauk Rapids on Thursday

SAUK RAPIDS - You can have lunch with a World War II veteran tomorrow (Thursday). The "Lunch With A Hero" event is a fundraiser for the next Honor Flight from St. Cloud to Washington, D.C.

One of the eight veterans that will be sharing their stories is Clint Fladland, who was a pilot in the war. He says his daughter helped put a scrapbook together of his time in the military.

Fladland says the discipline he learned back then is still with him today.

The lunch is tomorrow (Thursday) from 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Rollie's in Sauk Rapids. Tickets are a minimum donation of $25. They will accept walk in donations. You can also call Lois and make a reservation at (320) 774-9194.

The Honor Flight trip to Washington next month will be their eighth trip from St. Cloud.
