00:00This honor flight is to honor all the veterans of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

00:05It's all free for them.

00:06We show them all their monuments and explain what their monuments are about.

00:10We just try to treat them with dignity that some of them didn't get when they came home from the war.

00:15Hello, everybody.

00:17What?

00:19As we approach Veterans Day, I wanted to stop by and just say thank you for your extraordinary service

00:25to you, your family, the sacrifices that all of you made to protect our country.

00:29It's always something that will always be honored, and we are very grateful,

00:33and we also happen to welcome you with a 70-degree day in D.C., which doesn't always happen around here.

00:38That's the first time I've seen a president, former or current, greet an honor flight,

00:43and that is absolutely amazing.

00:45A commander-in-chief, a leader who's going to show up and tell you that your service was worth something,

00:50I think that's the important part, so I think it was a great thing to have.

00:53The last time I got to see a president, it was Gerald Ford.

00:56How about that?

00:58Thank you.

00:59It was a joy, joy in my heart today to see all these people.

01:06It's good.

01:07We still got people in our country, and that's good.

01:12I had tears in my eyes.

01:14I just couldn't believe that there was that many people around that remembered us

01:20and was there to greet us, and it was just unbelievable.

01:25Well, it means a lot because back then, you got off the plane there, and you had no welcome,

01:32and people were almost booing you.

01:34I'm real happy that now with current troops that come back from deployments, they get welcomed

01:40back really nice because that's what should happen.

01:43So it's being recreated in this flight, and it makes you feel good.

01:47I haven't flown for 50 years, and I was in the military from 72 to 76.

01:53Our country puts these things up, these memorials honoring the men and women that served.

02:01You couldn't ask for something greater.

02:03This has been going on over 20 years, and it started out very small, and now a lot of states

02:08have their own hubs, and they raise their own money, and they set up the whole flights.

02:12They set up where they're going to go, the buses, the flights.

02:15A flight like today from Madison, Wisconsin, we'll come in in the morning and leave in the

02:19afternoon, and we'll get them around to every monument we can within reasonable time.

02:24Every city in this country has got veterans in it, I guarantee it.

02:27Go up and say thank you, and just tell them how much you appreciate them.
