WFHB FireHouse Broadcasting

The sounds of the Bloomington Brass Band open our annual Memorial Day special on WFHB. Come with us for a front row seat as we go on-location to Veterans Memorial Plaza at the Monroe County Fairgrounds in Bloomington, Indiana. This program is hosted by fair board secretary David Smith and organized by board member Pat Moore. Our featured guest speaker is retired Army Reserve Colonel John Tilford, founder of Hoosier Honor Flight, a not-for-profit organization created to fly World War II veterans and terminally ill veterans of any war to Washington, D.C. to visit the National World War II Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery and other sites on the National Mall at no cost to the veterans. We’ll also hear from Hoosier Honor Flight participant Bill Buher and we close our program with Taps performed by Gerald Hanson and Jim Kirkman of the Bloomington Brass Band. Recorded on-location on Memorial Day May 25, 2009, in a WFHB radio exclusive.
