Review for Midwest Honor Flight - IA & SD, Sioux Center, IA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am the marketing coordinator for MWHF and was invited on this trip to take pictures of veterans and their guardians for marketing purposes. The way the whole day was laid out was very organized, everyone was comfortable and medics were ample and ready in case of anything going wrong, which thankfully nothing did! Seeing the emotion on these veteran's faces and in their body language was something that is implanted into my brain, especially the Vietnam vets. The feedback from those who went on the trip as well as family members who sent them was more than encouraging. It opened my eyes to just how much going to these memorials means to these veterans who wouldn't have gotten to see them if it weren't for the Honor Flight. These memorials show that our vets were part of a time where luxuries we have today didn't exist. It shows that what they did for us has made a difference. Getting to hear their stories as they reminisce on the pride they have for what they did for our country can give anyone a wake up call. They lost friends and brothers in these wars, they fought for our freedoms. In a time where people are fighting against our soldiers and our flag, it was a positive experience to see what our soldiers and our flag did to this country and our soldiers.
