Air Force Memorial Spotlight on: Honor Flight Network

摘要

There are many components of my job that I really enjoy. Scheduling military ceremonies for airmen, coordinating wreath-laying events for school groups or families that want to honor a loved one, and putting together our Friday evening concerts by the US Air Force Band are all really high on my list. However, the one that gives me the greatest joy is welcoming a busload of veterans from the Honor Flight Network program to the Air Force Memorial. Typically, each veteran has a lanyard around his or her neck, distinguishing which military branch he or she served in. I greet each of the veterans warmly regardless of service branch, but I love seeking out Air Corps or Air Force veterans. I go up to them, introduce myself, shake hands, and welcome them to the memorial.
