The helicopter ride was amazing. Just having the opportunity to be selected was a gift in itself. This is only one of a few things that has happened for me since I have been employed with Vought. I will cherish this memory forever. I am thankful for being a member of Local 848 because I know without them we would not be able to have the jobs that we have and the benefits of the Local and Vought have provided for us.

It is improtant that we realize that we are beginning a repeat of 1966. The company was booming and there were jobs that would take us to retirement. Well here we are aganin. Let's work together and continue to make our Local and Vought the best as we have done in the past.
