How unique is it for a 14 year-old boy to be a WWI & WWII history buff and his one wish is to experience all he can about it? King’s wish was granted at the 3rd Annual Evening of Thanks Gala at the Bourne Mansion!
Before King heads out to CA for his wish to visit the Battleship USS Iowa Museum in June, Long Island’s very own Museums stepped up and gave King some EXTRA special experiences!
Friday he went to the American Airpower Museum of Farmingdale, NY where he was able to experience a personal ride in the official parade float tank “Kalamity Jane”, a VIP flight experience in the official WWII WACO Biplane and tour of the Museum with his family.
Saturday he visited The Museum of American Armor of Old Bethpage, NY as their honored guest to be immersed in “The Armor Experience” (featured in video).
The Foundation extends our extreme gratitude to the following for their service and generosity:
Captain Tracy Wood and the Cadets of the 9th Suffolk Cadet Squadron Civil Air Patrol of Westhampton Beach, NY
George Morrish of the “Kalamity Jane” tank and The Museum of American Armor
David Wigley and The American Airpower Museum
