Kari Beardsley and Leah Puttkammer made yesterday’s images and did a spectacular job. The really got into gear and captured Brian Duffy, Earl Morse, Bobbi and Bill Richards and some WWII buffs dressed in combat uniforms greeting our veterans at the WWII Memorial.  Their photography is becoming more sophisticated every week and Kari always does her distinctive “fountain shot” which seems new each time she does it.My other news source–my mother in law–said that TV–local and national (CNN and Fox) –covered the Memorial all day.  The weekend seems to have been a public relations coup of sort and hopefully every hub will benefit. Thanks to you all again for your efforts.  I am spending the weekend with my graduating daughter who thanks to the Greatest Generation can speak Spanish and Chinese as well as English!!

And from Leah…”A line of spontaneous bystanders ushered in one of the honor flight groups by clapping as they all went into the memorial. I swear they were clapping for 15 minutes straight…. I know the veterans really appreciated it.”  And that’s how we roll!

Honor Flight is featured in the Jewel of the Mall: World War II Memorial book.
