Steven Bartlett and fellow Rotarian Gary Peterson spoke to the Club about Honor Flight, which is solely engaged in flying military veterans to Washington, D.C., so that they may tour and engage with the memorials created in their honor.
All veterans, whether they served in wartime or not, are eligible. All expenses are paid for. It’s an emotional and fulfilling experience for the vets, one of whom, in a short video, referred to it as “A Dream Trip.”
Gary described the welcome he received in Washington as “unbelievable.” He urged all veterans to sign up.
