Last night, Steven had the honor of participating in our second Honor Flight at the Quad Cities International Airport. We welcomed 80 veterans (and 83 escorts) back home after a day spent touring memorials and being honored in Washington, D.C. Even though I didn’t personally know any of the vets, it was still an emotional event. There are three to four Honor Flights in this area, and I highly recommend joining us one at least one of them.
