I just made a donation to Honor Flights, Inc. and was so happy to do so.

My bro in law was taken to D.C. soon after the memorial was built and he was just so proud of being able to attend.

This group does good work.

God bless Army Sgt. Fred Wedhorn, and all our veterans.

May all of them making this trip have a wonderful time, and may they know how very much they are appreciated for their service to our country.

God bless all these American Hero’s. We should never forget the 1,000 who laid down their lives on the beaches of Normandy.

Let’s hope his hat comes true. (Flushing NY.)

God bless them all. I wish my dad could have seen the memorial before he passed away. Much like Mr. Wedhorn, dad was a little older (25) than many of the young boys who were enlisting, but that's just what you did in those days. He was the youngest in the family by 10 years. I cherish the pictures I have of dad in uniform when he was first enlisted then later home on leave.

I hope and pray that Mr. Wedhorn has a wonderful trip and maybe, the Good Lord willing, even run into an old acquaintance or two while there. That would be awesome.
