The Story of Honor Flight

As we honor our veterans across America, DigElog ROCORI proudly brings you a story right from the heart of St. Cloud. Luke Cesnik, the president of the St. Cloud Freedom Flight chapter tells us about a program that the group has become involved with, The Honor Flight.

Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.

Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nation—and as a culturally diverse, free society. Now, with over one thousand World War II veterans dying each day, our time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out.

DigElogROCORI READER COMMENTS:

Good morning,
 Thanks Linda to you & your students who put together such a
great video for the Veteran's Day program. It was a pleasure being
able to submit my dad's photos along with his military/family history.
Being able to see his story become reality & other military folks as well
due to your hard work was awesome.
 Thanks to Channel 10 & DigElog ROCORI for making this video
available to many, many viewers. I was able to send the DigElog ROCORI
link to my family so they too had a chance to view the story as well.
 Thanks again to all for such a great story & sharing it with so many people.
 Hats off to all of you. Have a great weekend.
