A HUGE shoutout to our 2022 recipient, Nick Mascio. He is officially a certified flight instructor. Nick has only had his pilot's license for a year and a half and after 341 hours of flight training plus countless hours of studying, at 19 years old he is a CFI. What an accomplishment! Nick, we are so proud of you, your hard work and dedication. We wish you all the best as you continue to pursue your aviation dreams.

As you know last week we had our inaugural 5K event. In addition to over 150 in person participants, we had more than 50 individuals participate in our virtual event from as far as Honolulu, Hawaii to all over the US. The support has been truly amazing. One of our virtual runners, and a friend of LeRoy's wife, wrote a wonderful piece about her experience during her 5K run. Please take a moment to read this. https://lnkd.in/ev43TDrz In addition, we want to highlight our top male and female virtual 5K runners. Our top male runner was Kenneth Burch from NJ and our top female runner was Christine Lane from MD. Congratulations on your run times! And coming in with the 3rd fastest run time was our very own, 2023 recipient, Jayden Walker! Great job everyone and thank you for participating! We can't wait till next year!

It’s hard to believe it has been 23 years since the tragic events of Sept 11. As we reflect on LeRoy and his own aviation journey, we can’t help but think about the 33 scholarship recipients who will forge a similar path. Over the last 20+ years, we have watched young, aspiring teenagers walk in LeRoy’s footsteps and carry out their dreams. Whether it’s becoming a certified flight instructor, a commercial airline pilot, flying for the US Military, or any other aviation related career, we are so proud of the legacy that has been created in our namesake. Thank you to all those who have supported us and helped us launch the aviation journeys of 33 young lives. As we remember and honor those who were lost on that day, let us not forget the unity of this country on Sept 12, 2001. We need that today more than ever. May we live each day as if we have not forgotten. https://leroywhomerjr.org #neverforget #sept11 #911Unity #LeRoyHomer #aviationfamily
