“It was a real honor to meet the Tigers and their family members. Mercury has a special bond with the AVG. While none of our founders are still alive today, their spirit lives on in our commitment to teamwork and integrity in all that we do. I was extremely moved by the stories that were shared during the Reunion Dinner. As a war-time veteran, I sat in amazement listening to Joe Poshefko and the other Tigers tell their combat stories . These guys were great aviation heroes in service to our country, said Czyzyk, adding, “While these are trying economic times for all of us, I felt it was extremely important for us to help sponsor this Reunion to honor the memory of our founders as well as all of the Tigers.”
