Honor Flight Organization

It was recently brought to my attention that our very own Melissa Geter has been volunteering her time every month to the Honor Flight WWII Veteran's Organization.

Below, Melissa explains what she does each month in her own words.  Please take a look.

"I volunteer every other month for the Honor Flight WWII Veterans.  They fly from Chicago to Dulles and I am a guardian that is assigned a Veteran and from the time they land at Dulles until they depart that evening at Dulles.  We start the day by welcoming all the WWII Veterans and then take them to our designated Bus and we head to Iwo Jima, and on the Bus we have a box lunch then to WWII Memorial where we have a Ceremony to honor each WWII Veteran and then they present colors and we all say the Pledge of Allegiance, then off to the Korean, Lincoln and the Vietnam Wall for a few hours and then the last stop is the Udvar-Hazy WWII Air and Space Museum.  Then we take them back to the gate and they are girl scouts and boy scouts thanking them for their service and then a USO Girls singing for them and dinner and we hang out until they bored their flight back home.  We exchange addresses and send them any pictures we took for the day." 

What a lovely thing to do with your time, Melissa! 

Below are a few pictures that she has provided for us from a recent volunteer day.
