Friends of Army Aviation Heads to the National Peanut Festival Grounds

This will be the 6th year for our Dothan Remembers event and we are excited to continue the tradition offering rides in our UH-1H Huey helicopter. This year in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Vietnam War we will be joining forces with the largest Traveling Vietnam Wall and moving our event to the National Peanut Festival grounds.
