Friends and supporters,
We have a limited number of Armed Forces Day Freedom 5K T-shirts remaining. Sizes are Large and X-Large. You can have one of these shirts for a donation of $10. Our America 250th Commemorative Challenge Coin is also available for a $10 donation. These coins are 2 inches in diameter and are made of high quality material and would make for a great collectors item. A limited number of "Phantoms Inbound Key" are available. This 18 inch x 24 inch print depicts RF-4C Phantom II 67-0438 and Meridian Air Guard's 50th Anniversary RF-4C Phantom II 66-430 as they start a descent into historical Key Field. This print can be yours for an $100.00 donation. If you would like to make a donation to support the East Mississippi Veterans Park for any of these wonderful items, please text or call 601-527-7996.
