We had seen the World War II Memorial last time we were in D. C. but walking back from MLK we passed it. We saw a large group of men and women in blue, yellow, and green T-shirts, so it peaked our curiosity.
We found out these were veterans who were given a trip to visit Washington D. C. for free through a program called Honor Flight. The World War II veterans wore blue shirts. I loved the quotes on the back of the shirts.
The yellow shirts are Korean veterans. The green shirt are guardian, who come along with the veteran as a companion. They come at a reduced rate.
It sounded like a wonderful program. Here is a picture of the group.
Here are a few more pictures of the memorial. It truly is impressive.
