Marion Honor Flight

As a veteran, I am especially proud of my involvement with Honor Flight, which brings veterans of World War II to Washington to see their memorial and other cherished sites.

There are many memorials and monument in Washington, D.C. However, for far too long there was a glaring omission, no memorial to the men and women who defeated the Axis powers. I am pleased that this serious oversight was corrected with the World War II Memorial, which was dedicated in May of 2004.

Today, Ocala Honor Flight is bringing 101 World War II veterans from my hometown to Washington. I will meet them this afternoon at the World War II Memorial and we will lay a wreath at the Florida Column.

Our veterans have earned our respect and they deserve to see that their sacrifice is still honored. I am proud to join in supporting the noble cause of Honor Flight.
