Extras for Honor Flight Receptions

Marines:  I was in the Las Vegas Airport awaiting my flight.  It was announced that included with those unloading from the plane was a WWII Honor Flight veteran.  Maybe someone in the Detachment needs a similar hat???

 

He returned alone after the other Honor Flight veterans had returned because he had fallen and wasn't up to the earlier flight.  It was heartwarming to see the honor he received from everyone in view in the airport.

Thank You from Pine View

Billion received and passed on this letter of thanks from Pine View High School:
