The best way to Honor our vets is to advocate with them for benefits promised to them. The best medical and mental heath American can give.

It's a National disgrace what some of our vets have to go thru...

Handshakes, cards, parades, are nice...but calls and Emails to congress should be first.

Honor Flight Michigan is a group of dedicated volunteers that arrange two flights a week to take World War II veterans to the
District of Columbia to see their memorial. Two types of people go on these flights; World War II veterans and volunteer
"guardians"; who spend the day as escorts and assisting the veterans. The cost to the veteran is absolutely nothing, the staff that
arranges these flights are not paid, and it is a non-profit organization. The guardians that accompany the veterans volunteer to go,
pay their flight costs..., and have one of the most profound, exhausting and invigorating days with a great group of America's
heroes. One place where every veteran on the flight wanted their picture taken was at the Michigan column of the memorial.
