We received a letter from Mr. Carlos Chatara who brought his son Giancarlo to the NASFL Museum to research for his School project. Young Giancarlo was very interested with all the artifacts and he was most impressed "to meet a real WWII hero" in Mr. Allan McElhiney, who was a WWII sailor. It was a pleasure to meet the Chatara family and to remind us that the Museum's vision is to Preserve, Educate and Honor the Heroes. Below, is an excerpt from their letter and photos of Giancarlos project:

Dear Debbie and Allan:
Thank you for taking the time to teach us about the Naval Air Station of Florida during WWII, especial thanks to your Dad, he is a real hero not only because he was in the war but to keep and maintain all this valuable information in the Museum during all this time to show to the new generations. Because my son had this project for the school and the information you provided us, my son's project was one of the 3rd best in his class.
The School is: Eagle Point Elementary in Weston
Teacher : Michelle Laudanno
4th Grade
I have attached some pictures of the project. My son Giancarlo, my Wife Tania and myself want to thank you and your Dad for your help. Carlos Chatara."
