I live in New Jersey and made the trip to DC to meet him at the WWII Memorial. What a wonderful experience for everyone involved! My deepest grattitude to all who help plan the event, the "buddies" helping those in wheelchairs, the teachers and school children who drew pictures, wrote letters and sang to the vets, to your State representatives and to Senator Dole who came to meet, greet and talk with the vererans at lunch. I will always cherish this day. . My Dad, Charles “Bud” Rust participated in the Emerald Coast Honor Flight on October 21, 2009.
