Hey guys
I just got a very unsuspected pleasant phone call/e mail from Dawn, the HF coordinator, saying that they had a open seats on the Honor Flight, from Reno Nv to Washington DC, and she wanted to know if I was still interested in going, which I gladly accepted.
I am going back East (Washington DC area, to see the wall, Tomb of the unknown soldier and all the other sites, I have a choice of Sept or the middle part of Oct, for travel dates.
I applied over 5 yrs ago and and never heard back from them,
so I kind'a forgot about them, I even have the funds saved for the round trip.
Around the first of July/2025, I sent another email to HF, then Dawn called and sent an email with information about HF.
Dawn said, she attempted to contact me several times, but didn't have an current email address, ph number etc, (about 5 yrs ago, my service provider closed the doors and left the area, with no warning and we dropped the home phone for cell phone service, over 3+ yrs ago, a lot cheaper also).
Dawn, she said that HF had to take all the OLDER VETS from WW 2, Korea era first, they are just now getting to the Viet Nam Vets, there will be 54 VN Vets from all the services on this South West flight, going back to Washington DC.
So, what I am asking, if any of our members has been on a Honor Flight, from their state?
If so, do you have any thoughts, suggestions or information that may make the trip better.
I haven't been on a Big Bird since 1968, for the trip back to the world from VN.
I have a concern about this TSA current check in for flying now a days etc.
Thank you,
Don
