Firefighters honor the Greatest Generation

C. as part of Honor Flight.  Honor Flight is an organization that takes WWII Veterans to Washington D. C.  to visit the WWII memorial and other national monuments.  Several of these hero's are disabled and needed help getting through airport security and to their flight.  That is where Pattonville's finest helped out.  Off Duty Firefighters met the bus from Columbia Missouri at 0500 and got these hero's on their way.  Pattonville Firefighters will continue to help with honor flight as long as help is needed.  For more information about honor flight please visit www.honorflight.org
