Too frequently, I overlook Jim McLaughlin, the president of Honor Flight, who specializes in Lone Eagle and TLC flights–flights for those vets who for health reasons need to travel to the World War II  Memorial right away or are geographically out of reach or for some reason or another, unable to join regularly scheduled flights.  Yesterday, Jim was escorting a group from California and was also accompanied by an Associated Press Camera crew which was featuring Keith Axelson of California, 83 years young who was at the Memorial with his daughter.  They did a nice little story on his visit which can be found here.

And while on the subject of “unsung heroes”, here’s Earl and Margaret Morse, both board members and workers with Honor Flight which is run out of their home.  I only see them briefly as they stay by the buses to organize the tents, set up chairs, make sure the lunches and water are available to Vets.
