That's a great story Carl and a good cause for the veterans. Unfortunately for me my father passed in 84 when I was a kid and before I realized what he and other veterans of WWII went through. Now I wish I could have taken him on a trip like that.
I've got a bunch of friends at the local coffee house that served in Korea and VN and there is one WWII vet there. I'm passing the honor flight info on to the Colonel (a retired Marine and unofficial commander of the post(coffee shop)) to see if we can get our WWII vet signed up.
Good luck with your efforts
