In honor of Armed Forces Day and Military Appreciation Month, Veterans United has partnered with Dream Flights to thank our nation’s bravest in a very special way.

Along with his love for his country, he also shared a passion for music. His role as a signalman during World War ll was a vital one, but he also had another skill he brought to the decks of the Okanogan. As the years went by, he recalls his time in San Francisco playing swing music during the big band era. His wife, Deena, said through the years she’s proudly become his director, his producer, and his agent. Both Lyle and Deena have received both doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and are ready to retake their lives filled of love, laughter and most importantly music.
