Grandpa Dave went on the Honor Flight this week to Washington DC! They went first to the WWII memorial. Then they took a bus tour to many other memorials. They saw the White House from a distance. He said they don't go too close anymore. 88 Vets from Rochester and the area and 44 guardians (those who went to help the vets) took a charter flight from Roch. airport. When they returned at 10:10 p.m., probably 500-600 people were there to greet them. A bagpipe band played national and military anthems. Grandpa said he never shook so many hands before; all thanking the vets for their service!
