This is a very important mission for us because it is an opportunity to welcome 80 WWII vets at one time. Honor flight Chicago is doing a fantastic job in their race against time getting these Vets to Washington to see their monument, and we are honored to have the priveledge to welcome these Vets home.
Each month the United States loses over 30000 WWII vets. Thats 30000 that we lose the opportunity to welcome home.... every month. That makes each and every Honor Flight an opportunity of a lifetime for both the Vets and us....
Take the time. Make the time. See you there.

To greet these WWII vets as they return from their trip to DC where they viewed the memorials is incredibly heartwarming and rewarding. Please join us if you can!
