How to get your taxes done and support the bong Center
For the past five years, H&R Block’s nonprofit referral program generated many donations for the Bong Veterans Center in Superior Wisconsin. Last year the program raised $4,920 for the Center.
“Nearly 2,200 nonprofit organizations nationwide participated in the H&R Block nonprofit referral program,” said Sandra Newman, district general manager. “Giving back is part of H&R Block’s culture. Whether it’s free tax advice, a community service project or a financial donation, H&R Block invests in the communities it serves.”
“It’s a huge help for us,” said Hayes Scriven, Executive Director of the Center. “The funds come after the tax season is complete and it is great timing for us. The money donated goes towards, our youth programs and exhibits.”
Nonprofit organizations often see charitable donations increase toward the end of the year as taxpayers maximize their yearly tax deduction for donations. This program provides area nonprofits with an opportunity to raise funds at the beginning of the year when private donations traditionally decline.
To participate you can go to any of the Twin Ports area H&R Block offices, you must be a new client and then file your taxes with H&R Block or Block Advisers. For every new client $20 will be donated to the Bong Center.

Major Richard Bong Fatal Plane Crash | HD Stock Footage
True HD Direct Film Transfers - NO UPCONVERSIONS!
(Silent) Richard Bong was a United States Army major who was a member of the Army Air Forces in World War II and a Medal of Honor recipient. He was one of the most decorated fighter pilots and the United States' highest-scoring air ace in the war, having shot down at least 40 Japanese aircraft. All of his aerial victories were in the Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter.
Bong then became a test pilot assigned to Lockheed's Burbank, California, plant, where he flew P-80 Shooting Star jet fighters at the Lockheed Air Terminal. On August 6, 1945, the plane's primary fuel pump malfunctioned during takeoff.
The plane crashed into a narrow field at Oxnard St & Satsuma Ave, North Hollywood. His death was front-page news across the country, sharing space with the first news of the bombing of Hiroshima.

This premium aircraft has a BR of just 4.0 at tier IV. It is good and fun but the most important part is the fact that it is really fast and so you really can use BnZ tactics. Selecting the targets is also quite important.
