DuPage Airport to Host Helicopters for
the USMC’s Marine Week |
 |
West Chicago, Illinois: April 30, 2009 - From May 11th to the 17th, the United States Marine Corps will base helicopters
at DuPage Airport to support their Marine Week celebration in Chicagoland. The fleet of helicopters operating out of DuPage
Airport will include the V-22 Osprey Tilt-Rotor.
The Marine Week celebration was established to honor and recognize local Marines, their families and the cities they are from.
Throughout the week, Marines will volunteer at local kitchens as well as visit schools and community parks to share their experiences
with the community. In Chicagoland there will be appearances from the Marine Corps Band, Silent Drill Team and
the Marine Boxing Team. Support equipment featuring new technology used to serve and protect our county will also be on
exhibit at various locations in the Chicagoland area.
