The excitement filled the air as we welcomed home the Central and Southwest Virginia Honor Flight.
The 2 Korean War and 15 Vietnam Veterans, their guardians and staff, departed early Friday morning to visit Washington DC for the weekend.
For some, this was their first of the 8 mission trips that have been made. It was a trip of a lifetime for many.
Special thanks to Mission BBQ for providing lunch. And special thanks to Martin Leamy, the President and CEO of Central and Southwest Virginia Honor Flight!
My fellow DAR sisters (Colonel William Preston Chapter, Ft Lewis Chapter) helped honor their homecoming at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA.
Friends were made, stories were told, tears were shed, and an abundance of hugs and kisses were exchanged! Thanks to Colonel William Preston DAR Chapter for the awards, coins, and notes of appreciation, handed out to each of the Veterans.
What a humbling experience for all who attended. It was an honor to serve these special guests.
Oh how grateful I am to our Veterans.🥰💕🥰💕🥰
