The movie is a documentary about how a Midwest community came together to give four World War II veterans a trip to the World War II memorial in Washington D.C. These trips to honor these aging veterans have become known as “honor flights’ and a national group by that name started in 2005 to facilitate organize them.
The Philadelphia hub started in 2011.
The average World War II veteran is over 90 years old and they are leaving us at a rapidly increasing rate. Philadelphia’s next trip is May 25. Along with the funds, veterans are needed to fill the buses. Applications for the trip can be found at HonorFlightPhiladelphia.org.
