Many of our WWII Veterans are flown to DC via the Honor Flight Network. Southwest does a wonderful job in helping regional Honor Flights such as Chicago out of Midway in getting them to Dulles so they can visit and reflect at their memorial. As a volunteer at Dulles, I spend a lot of time at the SW gate B50 waiting for their flights to welcome them to the nation's capitol. The WWII Vets also get to stop at the Air and Space Museum at Dulles for a tour on their way back to the airport after spending the day downtown. They are delighted to see the Enola Gay and many aircraft from the time -- American, British, German and Japanese planes. I'm glad you had the opportunity to spend even those precious minutes with a veteran. I bet you really made his day. The Greatest Generation is a most appreciative generation. Thank you for the kindness you showed him.
