Forever Young Senior Wish Organization



Our mission is to honor senior citizens by helping them fulfill their dreams and to give them hope for the future.

Forever Young's purpose is to grant wishes for senior citizens, 65 years or older. Health is not an issue, only an unfulfilled dream. Whether seniors are in nursing facilities or living in their own homes, they are valuable and their dreams are important. Requests must be reasonable and each one will be evaluated individually. We will consider anyone in a nursing facility, regardless of age.








WWII Memorial Trip May 2010

What a group of American heroes! Forever Young took 31 Mid-South WWII veterans to visit the National WWII Memorial in Washington, DC for the trip of a lifetime. We had POWs, B-17/B-24/B-29 pilots and crewmembers, Normandy soldiers, and nurses. Every branch of service was represented in this group. Among the highlights were the celebrations and loving send-off and welcome from Delta Airlines. Arriving at Reagan National, hundreds of people and uniformed military personnel came to welcome our veterans to Washington DC. Army Air Corps veteran Bob Mosby took advantage of the attention and danced for everyone!

Another WWII Memorial Trip Scheduled for Fall 2010

If you are interested in sponsoring a WWII veteran to visit the National WWII Memorial in the Fall of 2010, please contact us at hightg@bellsouth.net. This is a great project for a Sunday School class, a business, a neighborhood, or a family. We have a group of WWII POW's, several Normandy soldiers, a group of B-29 pilots, and several ladies who served our country. We still need 24 more sponsorships.
