While at the State Committee meeting waiting for the Veteran’s Caucus to start, an elderly gentleman named Frederick approached me to ask about the Caucus. He said he was a WW2 vet and that he was going to be visiting the Memorial in DC soon. His trip is being sponsored by the Honor Flight Network.
According to the website: “Time is of the Essence. Based on recent 2008 statistics, we are losing World War II veterans at the rate of approximately 1,000 per day.” So if you know any WW2 veterans, please let them know about this program, and please donate to it if you can.

I will do a snail mail. This old cat does not trust giving out the keys to the kingdom to tthe internet. I’m a history fiend, and if you read what was sacrificed not just on the battlefield, but at home, it makes me wonder if we coud do it again. Strong, brave people.
Ok,Ok,Ok, I did internet. You know cats are impatient.
Thanks for posting this….my grandpa never made it to the memorial, but we did and took pictures as a tribute to him and his service. Wish he could have before he died and/or was not well enough to travel from CA to DC. Time is ticking for the WW2 vets.
