Saturday, May 12, We enjoyed The Thrill Of A Lifetime As Southwest Airlines Flew 40 World War II & Korean War Veterans Plus Guides For Each One Of Us To And From Baltimore. We Were Bussed From Baltimore To OUR Nation's Capital In Washington D. C. To View The World War II, Iwo Jima, Korean, & Viet Nam Beautiful & Sacred Monuments. From The Very Start Of A Leatherneck Led Motorcade Of Over 200 Shining Motorcycles With The Operators Carrying Beautiful American Flags, Escorting Us To The Albany, N. Y. International Airport, Where We Were Greeted With A Band Playing Patriotic Marches & A Young Lady Playing A Bagpipe, Was Very B R E A T H-T A K I N G. As I Also Looked Around On The Bus Viewing A Group Of Happy Veterans Smiling & With Tears Of Joy Flowing Down Their Wrinkled Cheeks (including Mine). I Had The Honor To Talk With Elizabeth Dole, Had Pictures Taken With Her And Got HER Autograph. Was Sorry To Hear Of Her Husband Bob Dole being In Poor Health. Even Got To See Bob Dole's Monument. The Monuments Were Extremely A W E S O M E.. The SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CREW & ATTENDENTS WERE OUTSTANDING. God Bless Them. I Shall Take The Memories Of That Trip To My Grave. THANK YOU SOUTHWEST AIRLINES!!!
