I stumbled upon this video featuring veterans who were flown to visit the National WWII Memorial in Washington D.C. courtesy of a terrific organization in Wisconsin called Stars and Stripes Honor Flight.
Honor Flight is an organization that provides World War II vets and terminally ill patients from other conflicts free travel to Washington, D.C. to tour memorials.
Excerpt from their description:
"Every day is a bonus," is the motto of Honor Flight and it's a sentiment that rings true for the men who fought and those of us who continue to benefit from their service and sacrifice.
I was really touched reading the good that this organization does and reminded of how lucky we are for those who stand up and do brave and important things for the rest of us.
The National WWII Memorial opened to the public on April 29th, 2004 and is dedicated to the 16 million people who served, the more than 400,000 who died, and to all those who served from home.
From the photos it looks absolutely amazing, truly a solemn place. I have added seeing this and other important memorials to our list of goals. I have also made a small donation to the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight on behalf of all our readers to help them continue to show vets just how much we appreciate their service.
