Honor Flight, 2010, Washington, D.C. That's Joe Byron kneeling to the left of the sign.

Honor Flight New England is a local organization that provides transportation to veterans who wish to go to Washington, D.C., to see the monuments honoring their service. They actually do so much more than provide transportation, but that is the hook.
|
I've traveled with the organization a few times on flights as a "guardian" to a veteran - that's a one-on-one buddy system - and if you are someone with a little time on your hands, I highly recommend it. You won't have a more complete experience - starting off here with the logistics of taking a whirlwind field trip with a bunch of veterans in various stages of mobility on a bus and a plane through two airports and back.
|
The real hero of the group is Joe Byron, a retired police officer who started the New England chapter of Honor Flight because he has such a heart for these men and women.
|
As you consider all your options today - one being sleeping in if you have the day off, another being attending today's Veterans' Day Parade at 11:11 a.m., starting at Holman Stadium and proceeding down Main Street, a third option, if you don't mind my suggesting one, is to make a contribution to Honor Flight New England. You can do so in honor of a veteran you know and love, or in anyone's honor. It will go a long way to providing a big "thank you" to those who served, especially as the majority of veterans who are currently traveling are our Vietnam Veterans.
