- “Reunion gives South Mississippi Honor Flight veterans chance to reminisce,” The Sun Herald: When you click on the “related galleries,” just below the main picture, there are a few pictures of me as well, giving a presentation. I appreciated so much not only the article but the captions that the reporter, Ms. Donna Harris, placed for each photograph.
- It was such an honor to be able to personally thank many of the WWII veterans at this event. I hope to be able to meet many, many more of them – before it’s too late for them and for me.
