The Honor Flight Network is dedicated to providing our WW2, Korean & Vietnam veterans an opportunity to see the monuments in Washington DC
Ten years ago tomorrow, I had the privilege of accompanying my Dad on an Honor Flight Mission to Washington DC. It was the first time the Central Illinois Honor Flight program had left from Champaign Illinois. It was a once in a life time experience and I am so glad that I was able to go with my Dad.
All of the details and lots of pictures can be found here:
Please click on the link above to be directed to the post. The reflection in the photo above is my Dad. I can’t remember if I planned it that way or it just turned out that he was standing in the right place to be reflected in the granite when I took the picture.
My dad went to the memorial. with my brother and his family a number fo years ago. It was a moving experience for him, like so many WW2 veterns. Glad you were able to take your dad. It was an amazing time for mine.
I am so glad your Dad was able to see the memorial. What branch of the service was he in? Thanks for taking the time to read my blog post!
Many thanks to your dad for his service to our country.
Thank you so much, Paula!
My husband is a Vietnam Veteran and I would love to take him one day. So wonderful you got to take him.
Please tell your husband “Thank you” for his service from me. I appreciate his service. I highly recommend the Honor flight program. The veteran goes for free. Thank you for reading my post about my Dad.
