Petunia there are several people that have come together to make this Honor Flight happen. I know one of them and am not surprised that her enthusiasm is shared by all that make this happen. A true patriot and public servant this program rests deeply in her heart.

So to the many that make this happen. Thank you! And may God bless you all.
