Today we had the priveledge of meeting with the Veterans that we will be guardians for on the Flight of Honour on April 17. For those of you who are not familiar with the flight of honour it is a fantastic project that Rotary supports that flies WWII veterans to Washington DC to visit the monuments and special sites that honour the veterans contribution to our freedom.
The meeting took my breath away and I know all the team were truly touched. The highlights were the singing of the National Anthem by one of Jo's veterans who is a gifted singer and the recognition of veterans who served in the varied armed forces. We gave each veteran a half penny shaped like an Australian slouch hat. Thanks Jo.
In the afternoon we visited a plantation, followed by a sock hop (dinner dance). Helen was the best dancer of the night.
Misadventure of the Day
I am sure there are more but when Steve was speaking tonight at the Sock Hop he proudly stated he was 27. We were quick to correct as he is actually 28.
