Rocky Mountain Honor Flight. March 22, 2013. A blustery beautiful Spring morning greeted the Rocky Mountain Honor Flight lead by Mary Haddon. Although we had been down to the Memorial several times in the last week, it was good to see the Memorial populated by its natural inhabitants: WWII veterans and students from the Air Force Academy who had volunteered to act as guardians. And as usual, there were several surprises. As the veterans were just to get off the bus, high school students lined the walkway to applaud the veterans and as we were leaving, a high school band. As usual, the pictures of cadets and veterans can be downloaded for personal use.
