Americans honor our heroes

June 7, 2012 by B. Daniel Blatt

Watch the video below to see how a group of Americans at Reagan National Airport responded on May 23 when “a US Airways gate attendant announced that an Honor Flight of World War II veterans would be arriving momentarily“. Prior to the arrival of these heroes, they had no clue such men would be arriving and soon congregated at the gate to welcome some men who fought to, as one great man put it, “free a continent“.

    There is a nationwide movement to fly vets to see the WWII memorial and have a chance to tour around Washington, D. C.

Furthermore, there are lots of young service men and women who attend them if they need a helping hand.

    My Dad, a WWII vet and retired officer, still gets by the TSA treatment when military flights are not available.

    “………………….!!!!”

    But not so speechless that I can’t say, “Thank you.” I am grateful beyond words.
