The recent Badger Honor Flight included two friends of my family. If you are unfamiliar, the Honor Flight Network is a national organization that ensures that all WWII veterans and terminally ill veterans of any war have the opportunity to visit the memorials that have been erected in their honor in Washington, D.C. Both of my friends said the Honor Flight was a trip of a lifetime for them.
As we recognize that Tuesday, November 11 is Veterans day, we would be remiss if we didn't honor all veterans on this day. A day set aside to thank all those who served honorably in the military and who played a role in maintaining our ability to enjoy freedom in the United States.
If you know a veteran, please take the time to call or stop in to see them on November 11 to thank them for their service. If you don't know any veterans, consider stopping by any VFW Post. The flags will be flying high, so take time to show your appreciation and respect. For our veterans, we are all thankful.
