Honor Flight

Since May 2005, a year after the World War II Memorial was completed, the Honor Flight Network has been bringing World War II veterans to Washington, DC, free of charge, to see their memorial, along with the others.  This month, Dad got to be part of an Honor Flight San Diego tour.

It was a moving and memorable day.  Many people of all ages came up to Dad and the other vets and shook their hands and said, "Thank you for your service."  "I'm just glad to be here," said Dad, or "I'm glad I made it through."
