This cache is not at the posted coordinates, but it is a good place to park.
I got the idea for the puzzle from a cache in South Carolina.
In June 2008, my dad and Uncle Dick were selected, with other WWII veterans, to fly on Honor Flight Chicago’s inaugural flight.
Dad and Uncle Dick and other WWII veterans woke up and arrived at 4AM at Midway Airport for a 6AM flight to Dulles Airport in D.C. They were greeted there by a crowd of well-wishers waving flags and cheering. They took a luxury bus to the WWII memorial which was built nearly 60 years after the war had ended. They also visited the Iwo Jima, Vietnam and Korean War memorials in the same day.
I was one of the lucky guardians on the trip. I was assigned to accompany Dad and Uncle Dick on their journey and to assist others as needed.
The day was hot and long, but at every stop of the day, people would reach out and thank the veterans for their service. A Navy veteran, visiting the Vietnam memorial, spotted Dad’s U.S.S. Lexington cap and told him about his service on the same carrier.
At the end of the day, the veterans exited the plane and walked down the jetway lined with cheering Southwest airline employees. At the gate there was a military honor guard, and in the lower level, drum and bugle, bagpipes and cheering family members welcomed them home. It was a welcome home that not all veterans received on their return from the war.
These veterans were humble and thankful for the day and came home from this emotional day, happy and rejuvenated.
