Today’s link is from from the Chillicothe Gazette and, in recognition of the 69th Anniversary of D-Day, honors the World War II veterans who are dying at a rate of more than 600 per day.
Those wishing to honor The Greatest Generation locally should make plans to participate in the greeting of those returning from Honor Flight Philadelphia’s next trip to Washington D.C., 6 p.m., Saturday, June 15, at St. Kevin’s Parish Hall, 2009 W. Sproul Road, Springfield.
Honor Flight is a national non-profit organization founded in 2005 to give aging or terminally ill veterans a day of honor in Washington D.C.
For this trip, almost all the 100 veterans participating are from World War II, so come out, hold a sign, wave a flag or just applause.
