Pride and Honor Flight is an organization dedicated to transporting World War II veterans to visit their memorials in Washington, D.C. Many veterans of that era no longer have the energy or the money to make the trip on their own, so volunteers raised the funds, arranged the details and flew the veterans to Washington and back on a single day. The veterans were shown soaking up the experience and discussing how grateful they were for the opportunity to finally see the monument to their service, which opened in 2004. These trips are free of charge to the veteran. Join Ken Rogge and his guests, Earl Morse, the originator of The Honor Flight program in Ohio and, Faye Wiseley, originator of the Pride and Honor Flight program in Dexter, Michigan. The stories you will hear will bring tears to you eyes. Maybe you’ll end up as a volunteer with the Honor Flight program in your hometown.
