Honor Flight
Dear Louie,
I believe I wrote to you that I would be attending an Honor Flight to Washington D.C. as a guest of the program for veterans of WWII. On November 3, I was privileged to be a guest and travel with my son, a Naval Veteran, to the Memorial of WWII. The trip was remarkable in content, in organization, and most impressively in participation of, yes, thousands of interested men, women, and children, who stood in greeting to us at Mitchell Field and Dallas Airport in Washington D.C. The flight originated at Mitchell Field at 5 a.m. with registration, pictures, and I.D.s for the day.
