BTW has participated by writing "Thank You" letters. Each Vet gets a few on the plane ride, and I heard from Honor Flight that BTW writes the best letters! That made my heart smile! That is my requirement to the students is to be heartfelt! These men have been through the worse and they deserve a worthy "Thank You." To get them in the right mood I play this song. It is a true story of one family darning WWII:
The letters are always amazing! The Best part of Honor Flight is going to the airport to welcome the Vets home! It is the most patriotic feeling I have ever had! To see those men come home is such an exciting feeling! They are now old men, but when I see them I always think what did they look like when they were in the War? Then they are always so humble, and so grateful! I shook one of their hands, and he thanked me! I wanted to say no thank you! I couldn't believe they were thanking me! Here are some pics from the last Honor Flight in Tulsa:
Sons of the American Revolution were there dressed up! Had to get my photo with them!
Me and Mrs. Moffitt about to welcome the Vets home!
Everyone there to welcome the Vets home!
They had a band there to play patriotic music!
Last night I met a WWII Vet at Walgreens. I took the opportunity to Thank him! He also told me he was 95. I asked what the secret was to living a long life? He said to enjoy life! I thought that was a great response! So if you ever get a chance to tell a veteran thank you - please do!
