🚁🇺🇸 BRINGING HER HOME: MEET Rendels Inc
We've introduced you to the team helping lift our Huey and the team transporting her across several states.
But getting her to New Lenox is only part of the journey.
Someone has to be here waiting when she arrives.
That's where Rendels comes in. 🏗️🇺🇸
When our Huey finally pulls into the Thomas E. Hartung American Legion Post 1977, Rendels will be helping us with the equipment and expertise needed to safely unload her from the transport and place her at the Post.
And they didn't hesitate to step up.
Rendels has been working with us as we plan for the Huey's arrival, looking at the site, talking through logistics, and helping us determine exactly what will be needed when that truck finally rolls into New Lenox.
For us, that moment is going to mean a lot.
This project started as an idea. Then came the phone calls, meetings, paperwork, approvals, planning, fundraising, and an incredible number of people asking one simple question:
"How can we help?"
Soon, all of that work will lead to a moment we've been waiting for:
🚛 The truck pulls in.
🏗️ The equipment gets into position.
🚁 And our Huey is finally lifted off that trailer and placed on the ground at home in New Lenox.
Rendels will be there helping us make it happen.
We are incredibly grateful to the entire Rendels team for donating their time, equipment, expertise, and support to the Flight Home Memorial.
Bee Line helps us lift her.
Americars brings her across the miles.
Rendels helps us put her down at home.
Three incredible partners. One very special mission.
🚁🇺🇸 Bring her home.
And once she's here, the next chapter of the Flight Home Memorial begins.
Until They All Come Home.
