On Saturday November 7, 2009 Reason.tv's Dan Hayes caught up with the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight from Wisconsin. Honor Flight is an organization that provides World War II vets and terminally ill patients from other conflicts free travel to Washington, D.C. to tour memorials.
Hayes talks with veterans who recognize that this is not only their first visit to the World War II monument, but may well be their last trip away from home. "Every day is a bonus," is the motto of Honor Flight and it's a sentiment that rings true for the men who fought and those of us who continue to benefit from their service and sacrifice.
Thanks to Joe Dean, Jane Dean, Mark Grams, Liane Baranek, The Gebauers, Cindy and Dave Haupt, Nancy and Steve Hayes, and all the guardians and the vets we spoke with Saturday.

Agree with you, we should respect them! One thing is frustrating though: I have never seen a WW2 movie showing "other nations" fighting the Nazi. The Russians for example, were very important on the defeat of Germany, or countries like Brazil which defeated the Germans in Italy.
Wow! We could all learn a lot from this generation if we allow ourselves. You can tell by some of these posts how lazy and selfish we've become. Does anyone know the name of the volunteer organization?
Guest? How do you say we were the aggressors when the Jap's bombed us at Pearl Harbor? And the US and many allied forces went to stop the Nazi's. Lets get facts straight, you obviously read another history book than me. Who wrote yours?
Mine includes this thing called Lend Lease, must be some crazy conspiracy nonsense. I'll make sure to look into it further since America is always the helpless victim of unprovoked attacks from "rogue" and "maniacal" enemies of our precious freedom.
These men deserve our Thanks, Praise, and Respect. Men like them make it possible so shit for brains like you can express your dumbass opinions publicly.
You're absolutely right, It's men like these keeping other men (incidently identical to them) from stifiling my freedoms. I really should've seen my hypocrisy a long time ago, thank you.
So Hitler and the Militaristic Japanese government should have been allowed to continue to murder millions, because Britain and France screwed up with the treaty of Versailles, that makes total sense
