Honor Flight 2012


Honor Flight

     Volunteers in Wisconsin raise money to fly every local WWII veteran to the Washington Memorials in D.C.  Every day, the veterans are dying from old age or illnesses and the money needed to be raised as soon as they could.  The trip is a profound event for both the veterans and the volunteers.  The vets are heroes again and everyone wants to hear their stories of what happened to them in the war.  It became one of the greatest days of their lives.
     This idea and effort changed the volunteers, the veterans and their families.  These men made sacrifices that stayed with them for the rest of their lives.  The memorials are for these men and without this effort many would not have seen them or felt the appreciation of all the people involved.   4* (I really liked this movie)

82 min, Doc directed by Dan Hayes with Bert Brach, Earl Bruss, Joe Dean, Joe Demler, Steve Deutsch, Donald Esselman, Lisa Goglio-Zarcynski, Harvey Kurz.

Note:  Imdb 8.2 out of 10, 91% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
