I found out, a few days ago, that my mother's brother, my 87 year old Uncle Bud, a WWII Veteran of the U.S. Army (European Theater), made it to Washington, DC, on an Honor Flight, to see the WWII Memorial on the National Mall. He was escorted by my cousin, Kathy.
 I'm so very proud of him and even happier that he got a chance, in his lifetime, to see the memorial dedicated to him and the other servicemen/women of his generation who fought and won a World War on 2 fronts. They are, indeed, The Greatest Generation. For those not familiar with the Honor Flight, you can find more info on this at: www.honorflight.org Semper Fi, ~Theo~
