It was such a pleasure meeting Cecil and sharing his Day of Honor! A paratrooper, a CTA conductor, a volunteer, and an indomitable spirit. What an inspiration. Thank you for your service and Welcome Home Cecil!

Earlier this year, @NuMarkCU and @1340WJOL interviewed two local veterans aboard #HFC107 and spent some time with them at the gate prior to their flight. The video they produced is Fantastic: youtube.com/watch?v=dNu3WVwQ…

Honor Flight Chicago flew its 10,000th senior war hero to Washington D.C., on May 10, 2023. On that flight was Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Raymond Szweda. Each of the 10,000 veterans we have honored has an individual story of service and sacrifice.
