Memorial Day Episode: Honor Flight Austin

Late on a recent Saturday afternoon, our anxiety was high at Washington’s DC's airport after navigating a mob in the terminal and then seeing our gate to Austin jammed with some 20 people in wheelchairs. But that anxiety quickly ebbed as Sarah and I realized that these people were veterans as evidenced by their hats that read Vietnam or Korea. On talking with them and the sponsor, we learned there were also a couple of WWII veterans on the flight, including a woman Marine, who told everyone that she was not just 100 years old, but a 100 and a half years old. The group had just finished a 24-hour whirlwind tour to see the war memorials and monuments. Attending to these veterans were an equal amount of volunteers, including Bastrop’s Joe Beal, a 77-year-old Vietnam veteran himself, who has done this flight nine times—eight as a volunteer. To honor Memorial Day, Ken Kesselus interviews him to learn more about Honor Flight Austin.  Lucian Perkins
