    Arlington Flyover Honor

     



    When Washington says there's no money in the budget, a group of veterans doesn't just sit back and let it pass, but takes it upon themselves to honor their fallen brothers in arms.

    You seem like a good candidate to be an owner of an old war bird, Jerry.

    Amen to all comments above. My eyes are watery after watching this clip. For those who have not been to Arlington I would encourage you to add it to your bucket list - especially if you're a veteran. It's too bad funding for memorial services have been cut. I understand in some places there's not even funding for a live rendition of Taps - how sad. Wonder how many fly overs could be performed for what it cost to run several full size aircraft to Hawaii and back?

    Regards all,
    Glenn

    Wow, that is really awesome that those pilots did that and were allowed to do so. It's crazy some of the things the govt tries to not allow that won't harm anything. Especially when it comes to our troops. It drives me nuts and I didn't even serv. May those 2 men rest in peace!
