SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Oscar winner Clint Eastwood and country music singer Trace Adkins have signed up to support an Ohio group that takes World War II veterans to their memorial in Washington.
The two stars have filmed movie theater ads to help raise money for the Honor Flight Network. The nonprofit organization based in Springfield in western Ohio has so provided more than 18,000 veterans with free flights to the nation’s capital and the National World War II Memorial.
Former Air Force pilot and Honor Flight founder Earl Morse says his group is “over the moon” to have the support from Eastwood and Adkins.
Beginning this weekend, their public service announcements are running before the feature films at more than 1,600 theaters nationwide.
