Twins Gage and Tyler Korkes, sons of Brett and Kelly Korkes, of Lehigh Woods, and the big brothers to little sister, Killian, celebrated their 21st birthday April 18. Both are 2010 graduates of Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind and were dual-enrolled in the ROTC program through St. Augustine High School. They currently are attending Daytona State College/ UCF seeking degrees in military history.

To celebrate this monumental birthday, the brothers will be flying on an authentic B-25H Mitchell Bomber, the only one of its kind still flying.

“I'm so proud of the boys. They were born at 26 weeks at under two pounds and with only a 30% survival rating,” Kelly Korkes said.
