Vets visit National WWII Memorial thanks to Honor Flight

Posted by on Oct 10th, 2012 and filed under Featured, For Front Page Use.


The Honor Flight Network this week transported 50 Central Texas WWII veterans to the National WWII Memorial in Washington D.C. The organization’s mission is to transport America’s veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices. Honor Flight’s goal is to help every single veteran in America, willing and able of getting on a plane or a bus, to get to Washington, D.C. Through the end of 2011, Honor Flight has transported more than 81,000 WWII veterans to the nation’s capitol.

    This is an amazing organization and their efforts on behalf of veterans should be commended. I’m very proud to say that my father-in-law, Mr. Jack Joiner, is attending the Honor Flight this week, as well.
