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

Carl - a very well written intro and a worthy cause my friend. I'm sure your Dad would be proud of you. I was able to do somthing similar w my Dad in 06 and hang out w a bunch of Vets.

Now get busy on that aero so you can teach me a thing or two...

Carl,

That is a great story and show's what a good job your father did raising his son. I would do anything for my Dad and I know your Dad can be nothing but proud. Good luck with the project, I will be following very closely!
