Honor Flight Guardian Chris Griffith

I am back and so happy to be here again.  Sometimes mother nature sends you a nasty sinus infection.

We recorded this episode in my hotel room in Bonita Springs, FL and I am so grateful to her for giving me the opportunity to interview her.

Chris just did her 5th flight and it costs her $425 each time.

She gets a veteran to escort, it's a whirlwind day, but it runs smoothly.

I will be at the WWII Memorial November 3 praying for good weather

Honor Flights go with sirens and lights everywhere they go

What you see and experience in one day is superior to a longer trip

The pilots were female who had served

$80000 to charter a flight shout out to American Airlines money is raised with fundraisers

Chris works with Collier County Honor Flight

When the plane lands back home they are greeted by about 3000+ people (eyes tearing up)

They move a tiny nation to make an Honor Flight happen

We talk about "God Bless America" and period music

People show up in costume

This is an amazing endeavor if you are interested go to https://www.honorflight.org

You can google Chris Griffith too.

They need volunteers

WWII vets get preferential treatment as do those with an illness 

I tell the Buddy story ( a veteran whom I will be interviewing)

As always I close with a letter from my dad 

He had been moved and could not write about where he was due to the censors

Thank you all so much for listening and yes I got tearful
