OFF OF THE ISLAND SAFELY.
I AM HEARTBROKEN.
I WANTED THIS TO BE AN AMAZING
EVENT.
IT WAS NOT A SCAM AS EVERYONE
IS REPORTING.
ORGANIZER SAID THE EVENT HAS
BEEN POSTPONED.> THEY ARE THE
LAST OF THE GREATEST GENERATION
. WORLD WAR II AND KOREAN WAR
VETERANS.
THEY WERE BROUGHT TOGETHER
RECENTLY FOR A VERY SPECIAL
TRIP.
OUR CAMERAS WERE ROLLING AS
THEY FLEW TO THE NATION'S
CAPITAL TO VISIT AND REFLECT AT
THE MEMORIALS BUILT IN THEIR
HONOR.
HONOR FLIGHT SOUTH FLORIDA
SPONSORING THESE TRIPS WITH THE
WORK OF VOLUNTEERS AND
DONATIONS.
AS A WAY OF SAYING THANK YOU TO
THESE MEN AND WOMEN FOR THEIR
SACRIFICE TO PRESERVE OUR
FREEDOM. WE HAVE A GLIMPSE OF
THAT TRIP..
[ MUSIC ]
Reporter: -- THAT IS WHAT
WE WANT.
IT'S THE MOST VISITED
MEMORIAL IN DC.
THERE ARE A LOT OF CHILDREN,
GRANDCHILDREN, THEY COME HERE
TO HONOR THIS.
THE GRANDFATHER.
WE WENT FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO WAR.
WE NEVER REGRETTED IT.
WE HAVE NEVER, WE DID WE HAD TO
DO.
I SERVED MY TIME IN THE ARMY
AND, I WAS NEVER THANKED. THIS
IS THE FIRST TIME.
SO I APPRECIATE IT.
[ MUSIC ]
I THINK IT IS VERY ACCURATE.
ALL THESE PEOPLE LOST.
I WAS THERE FOR THE LAST SIX
MONTHS OF THE WAR WHEN THEY
WERE ARGUED -- WHEN THEY ARGUED
ABOUT THE ROUNDTABLE.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT SHOULD HAVE
ENDED SOONER.
WHEN I CAME HOME, NO ONE KNEW
THAT I WAS GONE.
WHEN I GOT BACK.
NO ONE EVER SAID A WORD.
THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE
ARE GONE.
WE HATE TO SEE WARS.
BUT, IT WAS A THING THAT
HAPPENED.
IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE
TO LIVE WITH THAT.
[ MUSIC ]
I CAN'T EXPRESS THE WORDS.
PEOPLE RESPECTED CEREMONY BY
SMOKE.
IT'S AN EMOTIONAL INSIDE.
I KIND OF KEEP IT TO MYSELF.
I AM SURE THEY DO AS WELL.[
MUSIC ]
I THINK WE GOT A TOUR RIGHT
HERE. EVERYONE LOOK AT THE
CAMERA.
WE ARE DONE.[ APPLAUSE ][ MUSIC
