Middle Georgia Honor Flight

Number 7

Saturday, March 12, 2022 

During the 2019 Time Frame I was a Volunteer Photographer for these flights when they departed the Airport and again when they returned.  On 12 March I arrived at the Airport to take the pictures.  I was informed that they had several cancellations and was asked if I would like to participate in this Flight.  It did not take me long to say "Yes."  I was on the waiting list, but this opportunity allowed me the chance to go and not have to alter any plans I may have at a later date when My turn would come up.

Following are pictures from this Trip.  As we traveled around Washington, D. C. in a Motor Coach we were informed that Our Group was the first Honor Flight for 2022.  









Each Veteran/Hero had a Guardian.  Additionally we had a wheelchair
to eliminate falls, etc.  For the Changing of the Guard this was essential
because it allowed to get very close!
My Guardian's Name was Larry!

The return to Macon also was a
Heart Warming Event after
a Wonderful Day in
Washington, D. C.







My Thank You to
All Who made this day
possible!!
