Double Birthday Celebration: Captain Randy & WWII Veteran Turn 101
Get ready for an unforgettable evening that combines birthday festivities with honoring our nation’s heroes. This August, we’re celebrating not one, but two remarkable birthdays while supporting Southeast Florida Honor Flight’s mission to honor veterans.
A Special Double Celebration
Captain Randy’s birthday is always a cause for celebration, but this year’s event holds extra significance. We’re also honoring WWII veteran Carmin Yonnotta, who will turn an incredible 101 years old! This dual celebration perfectly embodies the spirit of Southeast Florida Honor Flight—bringing together generations to honor those who served our country.
The 4th annual Honor Flight Captain Randy’s Birthday fundraiser promises to be the biggest and best yet, combining great music, community spirit, and meaningful support for our veterans.

Why Southeast Florida Honor Flight Matters
Southeast Florida Honor Flight provides veterans with once-in-a-lifetime trips to Washington, D.C., to visit memorials dedicated to their service. These trips are completely free for veterans, funded entirely through community support and fundraising events like Captain Randy’s birthday celebration.
For many veterans, especially those from WWII and the Korean War, these trips represent their first opportunity to see the memorials built in their honor. The emotional impact of these visits, surrounded by fellow veterans and grateful volunteers, creates memories that last a lifetime.
