Honor is a hard term to describe. It doesn’t have a color or weight or shape. If someone were to ask me what honor looked like, I’d probably struggle with what to say.
But something happened on May 23, 2012 at 9:31 a.m. at Gate 38 of Reagan National Airport that might change that. A flash mob of sorts broke out. But not like you’ve seen on YouTube with highly choreographed dance numbers or people singing a song in unison. In fact, virtually all of the participants of this “flash mob” didn’t know they would be participating until moments before it happened.

A US Airways gate attendant announced that an Honor Flight of World War II veterans for a Memorial celebration at the Capitol would be arriving momentarily and encouraged anyone passing by to help greet them.

Great post! Great video! Have you heard about the “Wings Over Wendy’s” veterans group? Started more than ten years ago in LA by two WWII airmen — Operation Gratitude was able to honor and thank these fine men recently. Read about it here: http://bit.ly/MaFWHA
