The #Mission38 plane has landed in Fort Lauderdale. Over 60 American heroes with @honorflightSFLA had an emotional day in Washington, D.C., then, upon arrival at #FLL, gathered to follow the bagpipes and honor guard to their "Operation Homecoming." Family, friends, and community members cheered as our veterans entered Terminal 4, shook hands, and received thanks for their service. You could see gratitude, pride, and a few tears on their faces. We are proud to call them our own. @SpiritAirlines #koreanwar #vietnamera #coldwar
