Honor Flights Extended to Korean War Veterans-- Part 4: A Special Fraternity

Tom Cafferty, 86, served as an Army medic in the 1st cavalry Division during the Korean War, said he is looking forward to seeing the names and statues in D.C. on the Honor Flight later this year.  During the war, he built roads and placed mines.

Lou Kueltzo, 81, filed his application in 2008 and is eager to meet his fellow veterans.  They are a part of a special fraternity.  "Us veterans like to talk about the good times more than the bad," he said.  "You know you'll be able to sit down and talk, and they know how you feel and why you feel the way you do."
