I've just returned from an Honor Flight to Washington. I encourage all who have veterans in their families to add their names to those who would travel with the local Honor Flight Network group. I went as a "guardian", but someday may want to go as a veteran. It was an emotional and rewarding experience. I heard the stories and saw the sorrow at the Vietnam Memorial. I will definitely volunteer to go again. It was my honor to help a 94 year old army vet to get around and will have to get some first aid training to be more help next time.
In a speech at our dinner on Saturday, our team leader, a Marine Colonel, gave a very eloquent tribute to all who have served.
"It doesn't matter if you served 2 years, 4 years, an entire career....you wrote a blank check that may have been cashed at the cost of your own life...and you did so willingly".
To all who served....God Bless.
