WWII vets should take Honor Flight

Posted February 02, 2015 5:08 am

I read with great interest the Daily Herald coverage of the World War II Honor Flights and the fundraising for them in DuPage County.

I can relate to it as my father and Uncle Arthur (32 years in the Navy/Rear Admiral) were both World War II veterans of whom I am justly proud. If possible, every World War II veteran should get to Washington before they pass.

Another reason I can relate is that I am a Vietnam Navy veteran and a member of Post 198 of the VFW Chicago. We have a 93-year-old World War II veteran in the post (Navy).

Again great coverage.
