Honor Flight Welcome-Home Reception in Columbus, GA for 82 WW2 Veterans - including my Dad.

This is the view as seen by my Dad upon his return, along with about 81 other WW2 veterans, to the Columbus, Georgia airport after their Honor Flight to Washington DC to see the WW2 and other Memorials. Mind you this took place at 10PM on a week night! Also included in the Honor Flight trip were visits to the Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery (Changing of the Guard), Iwo Jima Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and with beautiful views of the Washington Monument in the background. Bravo to our WW2 Vets, Bravo to West Georgia Honor Flight (http://www.wgahonorflight.org), and Bravo to Columbus, Georgia for the wonderful reception!

@lightningxstryke: As you know, it was a WONDERFUL trip. Were you a WW2 Vet or Guardian? Either way, THANK YOU!

Brian, thanks for your comment. I am so thankful for the opportunity to accompany him on this trip. It was amazing. And while my Dad didn't DRIVE the half tracks, he says he was transported all over Europe in one, and who knows, maybe your Dad was driving!

If you have the chance, please tell a ww2 vet "thank you" from me in Germany.

Without people like him/her I would live in a heartless world of shit.

Thanks for kicking my grandpas ass. :)
