Bud Anderson Is an American Hero, One Everyone Should Be Proud to Look Up To

Auburn, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/20/2013 -- Bud Anderson, a World War 2 pilot and American hero, served two combat tours, escorting heavy bombers over Europe, and the City of Auburn, along with other community volunteers, is working to honor his service. "Thanks to the work of Douglas Van Howd, a local artist, a life size statue has been created, depicting Col. Anderson and his famous P-51 Mustang. TGH Aviation continues to work with the Auburn Airport Business Park Association, the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce and The City of Auburn, along with many others, to fund the completion and placement of the statue at the Auburn Airport," Richard Anderson of TGH Aviation explains.

TGH Aviation, in an effort to see the statue properly placed, set up a fundraising website designed to allow others to contribute to this great cause. "Bud Anderson exemplifies everything that is great about America and the goal is to ensure this statue is placed in the very near future. Although the city of Auburn has graciously arranged for leasing of the property for the statue, along with paying for the electrical lighting elements and base of Mr. Anderson's monument, more needs to be done," Anderson continues.

The recent fundraising event, sponsored by TGH Aviation, helped move the project forward and the same is true of the $10,000 received from the Auburn City Council, which approved funds from the Airport Enterprise Fund. "More money needs to be raised and the hope is that the exposure received from the fundraising event and other activities will draw more attention to this project. Bud Anderson is an amazing man, one who served this country as part of the 357th fighter group know as the Yoxford Boys. This group has been credited with shooting down more aircraft in a shorter period of time than any other during the war," Anderson goes on to say.

Bud Anderson continues to fly, even though he is now 91 years of age. Not only has he been inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame, his story has been shown on the History Channel as well as the Military Channel. "America needs more heroes like Bud Anderson and this statue will bring more attention to the great things this gentleman has done. He deserves nothing less than the best and we plan to give him exactly that with the monument being created. Any donation is appreciated," Anderson declares.

TGH Aviation Offered the Use of Their Hangar for Helicopter Repairs

Auburn, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/09/2013 -- According to the Tahoe Daily Tribune, as on August 27, 2013, 80 percent of the American fire burning in the Tahoe National Forest is now contained. This fire, which appears to be man-made, ignited the afternoon of August 10, 2013 and approximately 3,800 firefighters work to contain the blaze. "Equipment remains an essential part of this firefighting effort and TGH Aviation opted to contribute to the efforts of the firefighters by offering use of a temporary hangar to Aspen Avionics to repair helicopters used in the firefight. This is our community and we want to do our part to bring this blaze under control and help those affected return to a normal life although we aren't actually performing any of the repair work," Shannan Reineck of TGH Aviation declares.

Instrument and Avionics repair remains an important part of fighting any fire and rapid repairs help to bring blazes under control. TGH Aviation canceled renovation appointments to accommodate the repair work so the firefighters would have the equipment needed to get the job done. Tens of thousands of acres of forest continue to burn, making this equipment of vital importance. "Offering this space is the least we can do to help those in need," Shannan Reineck continues.

TGH Aviation is a veteran-owned company and understands time is of the essence in situations such as this. "The loss of even one helicopter can mean the difference between success and failure in an operation. Management and staff members remain committed to helping in any way possible. Although it cannot be said for certain, the use of this hangar for repair work may have played a critical role in bringing the fire under control. We remain committed to offering whatever services we can to those who fight to protect this community, during this fire and any disaster that may occur," Aaron Judd exclaims.
