2022 Dinner

After 2 years of social distancing, it was great to return to an in person event! On Saturday, Nov 19, 2022, a sold-out crowd gathered to honor a group which included a living World War II bomber pilot, a Marine helicopter pilot from Barrington killed in action in Grenada, and four heroes from Vietnam: three living Army helicopter pilots who flew hundreds of hours of combat, plus a deceased pilot from the Navy’s only assault helicopter squadron. We honored the manager of the first scheduled commercial airline service to Hiilsgrove/TF Green Airport, as well as the avid private pilot who founded the Gregg’s Restaurant chain. Thank you to all of our attendees, honorees, donors, sponsors and special guests!

The 2020 and 2021 dinners were cancelled due to the pandemic. However, honorees had been selected for those periods, even though the dates of their recognition were deferred.
