World War II veterans, on one last important mission, get a hero's sendoff at Richmond airport
Table of Contents
Dozens of people gathered throughout Richmond International Airport Wednesday to give a grand sendoff to a group of World War Two veterans.
The veterans, around 20 plus their family members, were a part of the Gary Sinise Foundation's "Soaring Valor" program that takes veterans to the National World War Two Museum where their oral histories will be recorded.
The program was inspired by Sinise's Uncle Jack, a WWII veteran, who visited the museum with him and whose oral history was given to Sinise after he passed in 2014.
This was the program's 22nd flight of WWII veterans and the first to take off from Richmond.
