Earlier this past week my father-in-law and his younger brother, both Vietnam vets, were able to participate in an Honor Flight. The flight departed for Washington D.C. early Sunday morning and returned late Monday night to an incredible welcoming crowd comprised of family, friends, a local school honor guard/band, and others. To say the veterans were shocked and surprised is an understatement. It felt great to be a part of such an event and be able to shake hands with at least a few of the nearly 100 Korean and Vietnam vets that were on the flight.
