Sending my condolences to Tom's family. I shared his day on the Honor Flight to Washington DC. He was so quiet at first but then as we talked we became friends. He was such a kind man and he really didn't think he deserved this honor as with most WWII veterans. He really enjoyed seeing all the memorials and spending the day with other WWII veterans. By the end of the day I knew I had made a new friend. I know I shall miss him and will think of him everytime another Honor Flight goes out. May he rest in Peace.

On the plane ready to take off for Tom's Honor Flight. What a wonderful day with a wonderful man.
