What a great way to spend Veteran's Day, watching a documentary about the start-up of an honor flight in Milwaukee. A lot of the World War 2 veterans, are dying off and a group of people join together to raise money to fly them free to Washington DC to see the WWII memorial before they pass. This shows the dedication of the volunteers and the sacrifices of the servicemen and their families.
This was poorly publicized and therefore had a poor turnout. This should have been a sell-out, as the least we could do for the men laying their lives and livelihood on the line for our freedom.
I was moved to tears more then once watching this film from 2012. I appreciate more then I can express in words all of our veterans, especially my paternal uncle who was able to fly on the Badger honor flight on 5/18/13 in recognition for his service in the Korean War.
I whole-heartedly give this two thumbs up in honor, appreciation and love for all the serviceman and women (and their families) who make this country the great United States of America.
