This Memorial Day, Honor Flight

One of the wonderful things about flying into my local airport, which is Reagan National (DCA) is that you get to see honor flight arrivals. This is where World War II veterans are brought to town to see their memorial at no cost to them. They are frequently met at the airport with bands, other veterans and crowds of supporters. If you're interested in learning more about the organization that sponsors these trips, you simply must watch this video:
And let us know what your Memorial Day plans are this weekend. The Hemingways will visit Arlington National Cemetery.

I've been involved with some of these in my area, and it's wonderful to see the looks on the faces of those men as they return to the waiting crowds of family and admirers. We'd always arrange an honor guard from our local Air Force Base to welcome them.

There was one in our local community this week. It's a great service.
