COMMENTARY: THE INDY HONOR FLIGHT:

Linden's writing skill is not sufficiently developed to adequately explain the deep emotions this Honor Flight brought to me, the other veterans, and our Guardians. Our day started at Plainfield High School where we had a light breakfast and then, at 7:00, Avon school buses took us to the airport where several people thanked us for our service before we quickly were aboard our large plane. It was a two plane effort. My Guardian, my daughter, Julie, estimated our D.C. airport welcoming crowd at about 1,000 people and the “thank you for your service” message was repeated numerous times throughout the day. The buses took us by the Iwo Jima and other memorials, I walked quite a bit around the Korean and WW II locations while Julie pushed me even greater distances in a wheelchair at the “changing of the guard” at Arlington cemetery and the Viet Nam memorial. I was too emotional to complete the Viet Nam one and Julie was probably most impressed with the one for Korea.

Our very full D.C. day ended: we had been fed three times before the return flight ended and we arrived back in Plainfield to a wonderful welcome by a very large crowd at the high school at about 9:00 P.M. Each of we 178 veterans were individually introduced as our Guardians wheeled us around the gym. It was a wonderful ceremony as was all the rest of the day and it is safe to say that none of we veterans had ever been so honored

Mostly About Me: lswift8@aol.com

Friday started with Men's Prayer Breakfast, The Indy Honor Flight was mentioned. Julie called as she started the trip down, then Brian called, and then I was surprised bgy a call from Rich Culp who was in Hawaii. In the evening Julie took me to the Indy Honor Flight dinner at Plainfield High School where we met Kent, our guest. The evening was unbelievably impressive: those volunteers were just perfect!

Saturday I arose at 4:30, Julie picked me up an hour later and we returned to the high school. The trip and return details are shown above. Julie returned me home at about midnight. I was really tired.

Sunday started with church and Sunday School attendance where I talked a bit about the Flight. I returned home and took a long nap. Julie returned and we had a good visit before she left for her home. Then read many notes, letters, and computer messages which were mostly good wishes regarding The Honor Flight.

Vera Lynn is the featured singer this week. Since my Indy Honor Flight just concluded it seems appropriate to start the week with a song from WW II.

Today's song: White Cliffs Of Dover.
