This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Honor Flight Chicago Opens Up to Vietnam Veterans-- Part 1
From the Nov. 8, 2019, Chicago Tribune "Next generation of warriors."
"They may not have felt like warriors in the years Vietnam veterans fought a thankless fought a world away. But thanks to organizations such as Honor Flight Chicago, that has changed.
"Honor Flight Chicago, a not-for-profit, has for the past 11 years flown World War II and Korean War veterans to Washington, D.C., free-of-charge to visit the national war memorials built in their honor. In 2019, the organization began including Vietnam-era veterans in this Day of Honor."
A well-deserved honor. I just can't believe how so many were treated when they came home during and after the war. It kind of reminds me of the way Confederate veterans are being treated these days.
