text: Congressman Rigell addresses these Honor Flight Network participants waiting at Reagan National Airport to fly home from Washington, D.C.   Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans ÛÒ World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.  Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nationÛÓand as a culturally diverse, free society. Now, with over 800 World War II veterans dying each day, our time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out.  Scott's dad, Ike, is an Iwo Jima Marine and took an Honor Flight recently to visit the WWII Memorial with some of his fellow veterans.
