Honor Flight

Honor Flight is a non-profit organization that transports vets to Washington, DC to visit the memorials that have been constructed in honor of their service to our country.  As you might expect Honor Flight's priority is our eldest vets -- WWII vets.  Here is a short video explaining Honor Flight.

Our Middle School librarian, Eric Hanson, owns and operates a company that restores vintage vehicles and specializes in Jeeps.  He was recently asked to bring one of his WWII Jeeps to an Honor Flight gathering outside of DC.  He was accompanied by, Butch Maisel, an Upper School history teacher and military historian.

Eric wrote about his experience in a blog post on his company's blog, Hanson Mechanical.  His words, pictures, thoughts, and deeds are all touching and do us proud.  Thanks to Eric and Butch!
