WWII Veterans Honor Event Draws Over 200 Attendees at Woodward Field
Restored Aircraft Flights and Patriotic Tributes Mark a Powerful Day of Remembrance
The veterans were recognized during a heartfelt ceremony featuring speeches by Congressman Joe Wilson and Col. Rick Mantei, both of whom reflected on the enduring courage of the men and women who served during WWII. One of the event’s most powerful moments came when veterans were invited to fly in restored WWII-era aircraft, a tribute that offered both honor and nostalgia.
“This event was about more than remembrance—it was about gratitude,” said Col. Rick Mantei. “Seeing these heroes back in the skies where they once served was deeply meaningful for everyone present.”
The event was made possible by the generosity of the Mantei Charitable Fund, which supports veteran outreach, youth development, and community service initiatives. Rick and Lisa Mantei expressed their appreciation for the community’s turnout and confirmed their commitment to continuing this important tradition.
“We’re already looking forward to next year’s gathering,” added Lisa Mantei. “It’s our mission to ensure that these stories—and these heroes—are never forgotten.”
