The Maxine Flournoy/Third Coast Squadron
HALL of FAME
The novelist Herman Wouk wrote..
"The beginning of the end of war, lies in remembrance"
A mission of Third Coast Squadron is to proudly carry the Remembrance Banner. The squadron periodically inducts local area veterans into the HALL of FAME to honor them for the sacrifices they have made, so that we may continue to enjoy the freedoms we have today. The public is encouraged to offer information to us on possible new inductees.
