Edd and Rhonda Harshbarger co-founded Kilroy’s Krew in 2013 to show appreciation to veterans of World War II by organizing trips to historic sites. “We’re just trying to show our thanks for our freedom and what these men and women did for us,” Edd Harshbarger said. The Tomball-based organization led a group of veterans on a trip to Washington, D.C., in June 2015 with a visit to the National World War II Memorial. Kilroy’s Krew is planning a June 6 bus trip from Tomball to the National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas. The organization offers all trips at no cost to veterans, Harshbarger said. While Kilroy’s Krew may organize another trip to Washington, Harshbarger said the organization is adopting a more local focus so the trips are less taxing for veterans—who are now, on average, about 93 years old—and less expensive to organize. Possible trips include those to museums in Fredericksburg, Bryan and Huntsville. Harshbarger said the biggest challenge facing Kilroy’s Krew is finding veterans to take on the trips. “It’s hard to find World War II veterans,” Harshbarger said. “We lose about 400 [veterans] a day nationwide, so time is critical. We want to do as much as we can with them while we can.” Kilroy’s Krew 832-289-7122 www.kilroyskrew.org
