As I made my way around the WWII Memorial this AM, schoolchildren from East Islip, Michigan were setting up for a band and choral performance and kids from Brandon, Mississippi were just laying out a wreath under the supervision of parents and teachers. Workers were cleaning the pool for Memorial Day. It was the last day of Honor Flight before the holidays and I think I’ve caught every flight. It’s been interesting. Today, flights came in from Michigan, Indianapolis, Tennessee, and Ohio, and two each from Nebraska and Kentucky,

Bob Salak, one of Honor Flight’s military guys was having a re-enlistment ceremony at the Memorial while Bill Richards was going to be awarded the 4 Chaplains Award at the Iwo Jima Memorial.
