@Honor_Flight_CH @Dulles_Airport Have a great day of honor @Honor_Flight_CH veterans!

[Honor Flight Chicago @Honor_Flight_CH]

Four Korean War and 108 Vietnam War veterans are en route to @Dulles_Airport. #HFC115 is in the air! Thank you for your service

It was such a pleasure meeting Cecil and sharing his Day of Honor! A paratrooper, a CTA conductor, a volunteer, and an indomitable spirit. What an inspiration. Thank you for your service and Welcome Home Cecil!

[Honor Flight Chicago @Honor_Flight_CH]

William "Cecil" Johnson enlisted during the Korean War to become a "Lifer." He eventually separated from the Army in 1966 but never stopped serving. He is such a prolific volunteer at Jesse Brown VA that even the VA Undersecretary took notice! #HFC112

[Honor Flight Chicago @Honor_Flight_CH]

[DirectChick @DirectChick]

It was beautiful and poignant on a clear and glorious Fall day in DC. with our Senior War Heroes with #honor_Flight_CH

[Honor Flight Chicago @Honor_Flight_CH]

D.C. boasts cherry blossoms in spring, but don't underestimate the beauty of fall colors -- especially at the Korean War Memorial. #HFC112

[DirectChick @DirectChick]

I had the privilege of chatting with Cecil today on his Day of Honor. What an amazing hero and what a story!

Earlier this year, @NuMarkCU and @1340WJOL interviewed two local veterans aboard #HFC107 and spent some time with them at the gate prior to their flight. The video they produced is Fantastic:

Honor Flight Chicago flew its 10,000th senior war hero to Washington D.C., on May 10, 2023. On that flight was Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Raymond Szweda. Each of the 10,000 veterans we have honored has an individual story of service and sacrifice.
