I was on both the flights from KCI to Baltimore and back, though not a part of the group itself. I was extrememly pleased to witness and participate in several standing ovations for these men with they were introduced. I thanked the volunteers but that was not enough. Everyone should thank these folks as well as the vets they are helping.
