L&A Veterans Council raised money to get a Vietnam-era Corsair A-7D fighter jet transported from Montana to Lewiston's Veteran's Memorial Park last month. However, they could not fit the wings onto the trailer and need to raise another $6,000 to get them to Lewiston so L&A Veterans Council Chairman and American Legion Post 22 Commander, Jerry Dewitt, hat and tan shirt on ladder, took the opportunity of a large crowd in town to open the cockpit and give tours of the plane during the weekend's balloon festival in hopes of getting donations. Anyone interested in helping is asked to call Dewitt at 207-576-0376.
