treated to lunch in the office of the Majority
Whip of the House of Representatives,
our own Congressman Kevin McCarthy.
The Congressman escorted them through
a private tour of the Capitol Building,
including the House Chambers, Statuary
Hall and the Rotunda.
Upon our return to Bakersfield, we were
greeted with yet another water cannon salute
and an awe inspiring welcome from our
community.
These WWII vets told us over
and over how much they appreciated the
experience and the opportunity provided to
them.
Cheryl and I will remember this trip
and the men we had the pleasure to serve for
the rest of our lives.
Our plan is to continue
to serve as guardians on future flights.
One
of my favorite quotes by Will Rogers typifies
these men: “We can’t all be heroes.
Some of
us have to stand on the curb and clap as they
go by.
