Have you heard about these ‘Honor Flights’?
Basically, the idea is that private citizens contribute their time and money to fly WWII veterans to Washington, DC, to see the WWII memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, and other symbolic sights, as a way to show their gratitude for these veterans.
Each veteran who goes on one of these Honor Flights is accompanied by a specially trained ‘guardian’, and a physician is present on the flight. The only thing the veterans have to worry about is getting to the airport.
This is a fabulous way to honor our distinguished veterans. Every veteran of our armed forces has sacrificed their time and service to protect our country. Many sacrificed even more. These Honor Flights are the least we can do to honor those who remain.
