Lt Col Buck "Ballistic" Burney, previous commander of the U.S. Alert Force in Homestead, will host the Wings of Dreams Veterans Tribute. "Ballistic" has more than 3,000 hours of flying the nation's top single seat jet fighters, including the F-16 Falcon and the F-15 Eagle. Retired from the Senior Leadership Team for the Florida Air National Guard, Buck continues to use his inherent leadership qualities to deliver his inspirational and motivation message for all those leading from the "Middle of the Pack" - your ALTITUDE determines your ALTITUDE.
HONORING THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED "FREEDOM IS NOT FREE"
An important part of the Wings of Dreams mission is to encourage a spirit of patriotism and a better understanding of American history and the sacrifices made to defend and preserve freedom.
Wings of Dreams wants to celebrate the service of all U.S. military veterans and call attention to a very significant upcoming United States holiday - Veterans Day, which will be observed on November 11. We especially want to show our gratitude to the active duty men and women serving in the Armed Forces.
The Fly Into History short program, including a speaker, patriotic songs, dedication and flyover (weather permitting), will begin at 9 am.
