“ME” MondayTM 10-21-19
BY Lynn Lessell
Honor Flight is a non-profit organization that flies veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials that honor their service and sacrifices. This organization is composed entirely of volunteers who give back to the veterans with all the time and effort they donate for planning and implementation of these flights to ensure American veterans have a trip of a lifetime. Spirit Airlines works with Honor Flight to provide a plane, crew and additional staff members exclusively for these honor flights to make this experience extraordinary and extraordinary it is!
Not only did I have the opportunity and honor to be a sponsor through a donation, I was able to be a guardian for a veteran on this amazing journey. This veteran’s name is Marty. After one day together, we now have a bond that only we can share and a friendship that will continue.
I have been to Washington, D.C. a few times in my life. The first time I went when I was little. My grandparents took my cousin and me on a trip, then I took my kids when they were young, and then once again just me and my older son several years ago. Though I have toured this historic place before, this trip was like being there for the first time. I not only got to see history in a new and different way, I also got to experience the history through the eyes of many who actually lived through it. That, in itself, is a once in a lifetime experience.
Don’t miss an opportunity to share this wonderful experience. If you are able to volunteer and be a guardian for one of the next Honor Flights in the spring, sign up now. Visit your local chapter of Honor Flight online. This is a nationwide organization. If you are unable to volunteer, give a donation and/or nominate a veteran for the flight. There is no cost to the veterans and it is an incredible gift to give them.
We plan something special for ourselves every “ME” MondayTM. Please help plan a special trip for a veteran to have an incredible memory.
If you could do something for yourself right now that you are not doing, what would that be…?
To your health!
