CLUB LEARNS ABOUT BLUE STAR MOMS' HONOR FLIGHTS

Susanville Sunrise Rotary heard about the Blue Star Moms' Honor Flights for veterans from Christine Boyd (left) and Bill Knox at the meeting this morning. Christine Boyd noted the WWII vets have priority for flights to Washington, D.C. to see various monuments honoring America's veterans and receive closure for their war experience with this one last mission. Bill Knox said he saw Navy planes he flew, as well as the Blackbird SR71, the fastest plane ever built, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. He also noted how much he appreciated the airport reception upon his return and the gift of a quilt of honor. Thank you, Christine Boyd and Bill Knox for an excellent presentation.
