Veterans Airlift Command has been incredible to our family. My husband lost both of his legs in Afghanistan is Jan 2019 and as a result has had multiple appointments for prosthesis. Flying on commercial flights can difficult due to small seating /leg room and timeliness of switching flights. Veterans Airlift Command takes away all the stress and discomfort and their volunteers go out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible. VAC has always come through with flights, even with very short notice requests we have made. So often the pilots explain what a privilege it is to be able to fly Combat Wounded Veterans, but what they should also realize is what an incredible experience it is to be flown by such high caliber Americans. I can’t say enough good things about them!Thank you, VAC!
