Yesterday, our Executive Director and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Alicia Patterson had the incredible honor of traveling to Washington, D.C. on an Honor Flight serving as a guardian for her father, Ed Harter.
Ed, an Air Force veteran who served during the Vietnam era, had the honor of participating in the wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery during the trip. When asked about his favorite part of the day, he shared that there wasn’t a single moment he didn’t enjoy.
We are so proud of Alicia and her dad and grateful they were able to share such a meaningful experience together. A heartfelt thank you to Honor Flight Tri-State for everything they do to give our veterans the trip of a lifetime.
