Amazing America 250: Honor flights can offer closure for veterans who didn't have heroic homecomings

AMERICA—IT’S THE LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.

FROM THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR WHERE AMERICA’S INDEPENDENCE WAS WON TO THE CIVIL WAR’S TURNING POINT BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG THAT SECURED HER AS ONE NATION INDVISIBLE TO THE WESTERN FRONT, VICTORY IN THE TRENCHES OF WORLD WAR I... AND BEYOND.

TRUE PATRIOTS THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE ARMED FORCES.

PROTECTING AMERICA AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

THE HEROES WHO ARE STILL WITH US— HONORED WITH FLIGHT.

A DAY PACKED WITH STOPS TO THE MEMORIALS BUILT IN THEIR HONOR

AN HONOR FLIGHT TOWARDS HEALING — AND OFTENTIMES CLOSURE.

FOR THE VETERANS WHO NEVER RECEIVED A HEROIC HOMECOMING — AN HONOR FLIGHT IS THE LONG-AWAITED “WELCOME HOME."

A MOMENT TO REMEMBER FALLEN COMRADES IN ARMS — TO FIND THEIR NAMES UPON HEADSTONES OR ON THE WALL

EACH NAME TRACED — A LASTING TRIBUTE TO THE ONES WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.

A FLIGHT TO HONOR THE SERVICE

AND THE SACRIFICE BY AMERICA'S HEROES, FOR AMERICA'S FREEDOM.
