On this week of Veterans Day, I rise to pay tribute to two noble Americans and a great organization, Honor Flight. Earl Morse of Ohio and Jeff Miller of North Carolina are two of the founding members of the Honor Flight Network. The Honor…
Tomorrow I intend to bring to the floor the photos of two American families that have been instrumental in helping bring over 100,000 Americans who fought in World War II to our Nation's Capitol for Honor Flight. I had the great…
