Flights honor WWII veteransBy Jess Paniszczyn

More than 65 years ago, young men and women answered their country’s call and left their homes. They traveled across the world and were instrumen-tal in the Allies’ wining WWII.

Living far from the battlefields they once fought and bled on, these warriors are now retired grand-parents living on fixed incomes. In honor of their sacrifice the nation has shown its appreciation in a number of ways from the GI Bill to Veterans’ Day celebrations to building memorials in their honor. Ironically, most WWII veterans have never seen the memorials dedicated to them and their fallen comrades.

If only they had bacon-flavored beer. That was the sentiment ex-pressed by three colorful characters at the North Texas Beer Fest held May 12th at the Irving Convention Center.

“I’m not a chicken, I’m a turkey,” groused Justin Nezda, an Irving resident who walked in costume to the event from his apartment in Las Colinas. One wingman, Jus-tin Probst was attired in Santa suit and lederhosen, while Adip Dsouza rounded out the loony trio in long-horn shirt and horns.

“He’s a home brewer,” said Probst, pointing to Nezda as he turned tail to get a refill. “We are his testers.”

“My goal is to get out of banking and go into brewing,” Nezda added. “I’ve been doing this for four years now, and I have a garage so that’s where I brew. It’s a social project, like cooking – it’s a good time. You can create something new or un-usual.

This weekend, all over the nation and the world people are celebrating Mother’s Day. What a joy it is to honor and recognize the one person

in life who has given so much to our existence. So I want to take the opportunity today to honor not only all mothers, but all Women! I will probably not fin-ish this piece this week and it will be continued in the next’s week’s issue.

Sometimes we don’t understand how important women are to our life, society and way of life. Women were not a side issue, second thought, or after thought with God, it was always in God’s Divine Plan. After God had created his prize creation, Man, and gave him authority, rights and privi-leges, God saw how he could improve

on his Prize, man, so he created woman! Women is and has always been a vital part of God’s

Divine Order in the Earth. The devil, the enemy has al-

ways attacked and tried to destroy the feminine species. What better way to get at God’s Creation, Man, but by going through Man’s Crowning Glory, the Woman! The Bible says that women are the weaker vessel and that’s why Satan attacks you first.

Women have issues and items that are unique to be-ing female:

Women suffer more violence that menWomen usually gain more weight as they get older,

& have more weight issues than menWomen suffer more mental breakdowns than menWomen suffer from low self-esteem more than menWomen endure more emotional and mental abuseMore women attempt suicide, but more men suc-

ceed at itThroughout all the changes women go through, they

are still receive Divine Favor from God. We will con-tinue in next week’s issue, just How Special Women Are!!!

TSA Officers at Providence TF Green Airport (PVD) noticed what appeared to be a disassembled fire-arm on the X-ray screen of baggage belonging to a father and his small child. Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) were called to the check-point and after searching the bag, discovered a disassembled weap-on hidden in three of the child’s stuffed animals. The main frame of a .40 caliber firearm was in one animal. A magazine loaded with two .40 caliber rounds and firing pin was inside another. The slide was inside third stuffed animal. All of the necessary components to as-semble a fully functional loaded firearm were artfully concealed in the three stuffed animals. This is an example that threats can appear anywhere and why officers take a closer look at everything. It’s also an example that shows that even though the TSA has made changes to how they screen children 12 & under, the security process is still just as effective. n Simulated Semtex-H – Once again, an explosives training aid was discovered at a TSA check-point. This time it was at Fort Wal-ton Beach (VPS) and it involved a block of simulated Semtex-H explosive. Officers had no way of

knowing it was simulated until af-ter they had gone through all of the motions.n Hollowed Out Book – A hollowed out book containing narcotics and drug paraphernalia was discovered at Denver (DEN). TSA officers are not looking for drugs, but when drugs are found, they are reported. Mace Gun – It looks kind of like a 1950’s era sci-fi ray gun, but of-ficers at Newark (EWR) discovered a mace/pepper gun.n Ammo in Pocket Found With Body Scanner – TSA Officers at Balti-more (BWI) discovered 13 rounds of ammunition in the front pocket of a passenger who went through a body scanner.Miscellaneous Prohibited Items - In addition to all of the other pro-hibited items, officers also found firearm components, realistic repli-

ca firearms, stun guns, brass knuck-les, a ginormous amount of knives, ammunition, and batons.

n Suspicious Circumstance: April 26 at 4:03 p.m. The driver advised he was driving his company vehicle on the North Service Road. The driver advised a tan Toyota Camry entered the roadway, somewhere in the vicinity of the Business Tower, and cut him off. He blew his horn at the vehicle and the second driver flipped him off.

The driver followed the tan Toy-ota Camry to the stoplight at Cros-sunder #1. The light was red and the driver was stopped directly behind the tan Toyota Camry. The driver exited his vehicle and approached the second driver in the tan Toyota Camry. The driver confronted the second driver and asked him if he didn’t see the yield sign. The second driver pointed a pistol at the first dirver and stated “don’t you see my gun and I do have a permit to carry it”. The light turned green and the tan Toyota Camry drove off.

When officers asked the driver if he thought it was wise to exit his vehicle and approach a total stranger, the driver said, “He made me spill my tea.” The driver also in-formed officers, “He cut me off and I want to file a report”.n THSC Violation: May 10 at 9:16 p.m. While conducting random B.A.S.S. contacts at Terminal D Gate D21, an officer noticed a white male approaching who ap-peared to be nervous. The officer asked the passenger if he would an-swer a few questions. The passenger agreed and stepped off to the side.

The officer asked the passenger about his travel. While conducting the casual conversation, the offi-cer observed the passenger’s hands shaking and that he was visually nervous.

The passenger volunteered that

he had smoked some marijuana while on his trip but was not carry-ing any with him. The officer then asked him if he could inspect the passenger’s black backpack. The passenger voluntarily provided his backpack for inspection and ad-vised “sure, go ahead”.

While inspecting the black backpack, in the passenger’s pres-ence, the officer located a small baggie labeled “British Dragon Pharmaceuticals, Anavar 10mg” in the top small compartment of his back pack. The baggie would later reveal it contained 89 pink square tablets. When the passenger ob-served the officer remove the baggie he commented “those aren’t illegal, they are pills I use for working out that I bought online”.

While investigating the suspi-cious tablets it was discovered the tablets met the profile for a pos-sible anabolic steroid containing the chemical compound “Oxandro-lone”, a Penalty Group 3 Controlled Substance in the Texas Health and Safety Code (HCS 481.117(B)).

I advised Mr. Riguero-Brito his Miranda Rights (2227 hours) and he stated he understood his rights and was

The passenger related he had purchased one hundred tablets for one hundred dollars. He further related he had been advised by his close friend in the body building industry that it was a safe and legal supplement to utilize. The passen-ger also stated that his friend had advised him to take five a day, but he was only taking one a day to in-crease his mass and definition from his body building work outs.

The passenger was released pending further investigation and testing of the seized tablets.

POLICE REPORT

In a surprise move on May 17, the FAA admitted that it “discovered errors” during the course of prepar-ing its court papers. The FAA now says it is ready to provide the relief requested by the Independent Pilots Association (UPS pilots union), and will take another look at whether cargo pilots should be excluded from new rest rules published in December.

The FAA filed a motion asking the Court for “an order holding this appeal in abeyance and remanding the record to the FAA to permit correction of newly discovered errors in the administrative record support-ing the regulation at issue in this case as it pertains to all-cargo flight operations.”

The FAA said it “discovered errors in calculating the scope of costs associated with the implementation of the regulations (rest rules) for all cargo operations.”

As a result, the Agency proposes to “reopen the re-cord by issuing a supplemental regulatory evaluation strictly limited to the application of the new regula-tions to all-cargo operations.” The FAA action, subject

to court approval, would occur on an “expedited” basis and be subject to continued court supervision.

“In the context of our lawsuit, the FAA is now will-ing to allow for an open and public examination of the costs and benefits of having one level of aviation safety,” said IPA President Robert Travis.

“This is the type of relief we asked the court to pro-vide in our brief filed in April,” said IPA General Coun-sel William Trent of the UPS pilots union. “A flawed cost-benefit formula, issued at the last minute, without opportunity for public comment and examination, was at the core of our legal objections to the FAA’s exclu-sion of cargo pilots from new science-based pilot rest rules,” he added. The new regulations with respect to passenger operations become effective in January 2014.

“Make no mistake, this is not a final victory,” said Travis. “However, getting the FAA to reconsider this critical safety issue under the bright light of full public scrutiny and accountability is an important first step.”

American Airlines issued the following statement on May 15, attributed to spokesman Bruce Hicks:

“American Airlines is pleased to announce ratified agreements with five workgroups represented by the Transport Workers Union (TWU), including Fleet Service, Dispatch, Maintenance Control Techni-cians, Simulator Technicians, and Ground School and Simulator Pi-lot Instructors. These consensual agreements preserve approximately 1,300 jobs, and provide an Early-Out package, a profit sharing plan, future pay increases, a 401(k) com-pany match and a potential com-pany prefunding refund.

“Today’s ratification announce-ment demonstrates American’s willingness to address the TWU’s interests and the union’s willing-ness to negotiate new contracts that achieve the cost savings needed for

our successful restructuring. We realize this was a very difficult de-cision for our TWU-represented employees.

“We are disappointed that the Mechanic & Related and Stores

workgroups did not ratify the com-pany’s latest settlement proposals. For these groups, we will continue to pursue our 1113 Motion to Re-ject the current labor agreements. S

Anniversary highlights change for flight attendants

The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA) Inter-national President Veda Shook made the following statement on the 82nd anniversary of Ellen Church starting our profes-sion as the first Flight Attendant hired on May 15, 1930:

“On May 15, 1930, Ellen Church, a young registered nurse, first suggested the idea of ‘skygirls’ to executives at Boeing airlines and became the world’s first Flight Atten-dant. Those skygirls, who later would be called Flight At-tendants, had to be registered nurses, retire at the age of 32, remain single and adhere to a strict set of limitations regard-ing weight and appearance.

“Today, over 80 years later, we stand on the shoulders of the profession Ellen Church created. Our occupation has evolved into a valued and respected career. From the glamour girl im-age to our struggle for equality and recognition of our respon-sibilities as first responders and safety professionals, the Flight Attendant profession led the charge for advancing equality issues and breaking through the stereotypes traditionally at-tached to the definition of femininity. The history of the Flight Attendant profession is dynamic, colorful and compelling.

“Just as Ellen Church paved the way for the hundreds of thousands of Flight Attendants across the globe who followed in her footsteps, AFA led the charge for the advancement of our profession. AFA has worked to defend Flight Attendants’ interests by adding the voice of Flight Attendants to those of government and industry in the regulatory and legislative processes and by negotiating collective bargaining agreements that improve compensation and working conditions.

“In a demanding industry that presents continuous chal-lenges to the Flight Attendant profession, AFA’s work is far from over. Today we remain focused on improving condi-tions for Flight Attendants and as we have for over six de-cades, we will continue to evolve according to the needs of our members.”

Evelyn Bryan Johnson, who had more flight hours logged than any living female pilot in the world, died Thursday, May 10, in Jefferson City, TN. She was 102 years old. According to the National Aviation Hall of Fame, which inducted her in 2007, “Mama Bird” Bryan Johnson had 57,635 flight hours - more flying time than any woman in aviation history and second all-time only to Ed Long’s 64,000. She also taught more than 5,000 pilots how to fly, and as an FAA designated pilot examiner since 1952, conducted more than 9,000 checkrides. Evelyn was a member of EAA from 1979 to 2009, and was a Vintage Aircraft Association member from 1980 to 2008.

In 1941, Evelyn’s husband, W.J. Bryan, joined the Army and she was tasked with running his dry cleaning

business in Jeff City. “And it was getting really boring,” she said in a2003 EAA Timeless Voices of Aviation in-terview. “And I thought if I could find me a

hobby and get out of here an hour or so every week, it might help.”

One Sunday morning, a newspaper ad for flight lessons at Island Airport in nearby Knoxville piqued her interest and motivated her to give it a try the following week.

“I got on the train in Jefferson City, went to Knoxville, got on a city bus, went to the end of the line out near Island Airport, walked about a quarter

mile down the road along the river, got a ride across the river in a rowboat to take my first flight lesson,” she said.

“It was love at first flight, and I’ve been flying ever since.”

Among her many honors and awards: Elder Statesman of Aviation Award, Memorial Award-National Aeronautics Association and the 99’s, Flight Instructor of the Year, Aviation Airport Manager of the Year, Women of Aviation Pioneers Hall of Fame, Flight Instructor Hall of Fame, and the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award.

Funeral arrangements are for Tues-day, May 15, at First Baptist Church in Morristown. Family visitation is 4-5:30 p.m. and 6-7 p.m. with the funeral ser-vice to follow.

EAA joins the automotive and aviation communities paying tribute to icon Carroll Hall Shelby, who passed away in Dallas on Thursday, May 10, at the age of 89. An EAA member from 1988 to 2010, he was a frequent AirVenture attendee, signing autographs and participating in numerous activities including the Gathering of Eagles fundraiser. Shel-by was one of the most influential high-performance design-ers in automotive history, and he leveraged that background to help design several one-of-a-kind vehicles that were spe-cially constructed by Ford Motor Company for auction at the Gathering event.

Those vehicles included the Shelby GT350H Ford Mus-tang in 2006 (which fetched $500,000 in the auction), the P-51-inspired Mustang AV8R in 2008, and the SR-71 “Black-bird” Mustang in 2010, on which Shelby collaborated with NASCAR Team owner and aviator Jack Roush.

Shelby enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps, trained at San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center (Lackland Air Force Base), and served as a flight instructor and test pilot during World War II. At that time he was said to have written love letters to his fiancée, stuffed them in his boots, and dropped them onto her farm when flying over.

Dsouza. Other visitors to the event were

satisfied with the dozens – hun-dreds – of brews and wines on hand. Cindy Lancaster of Fort Worth, sporting a beaded necklace from Heineken’s, works in Irving at CVS Caremark and urged her husband John to join her for the excursion.

“We went to last year’s event in Plano,” said John. “That was our first experience at a festival like this. I like this setup better, though. There’s more room between the booths.

“My passion is the microbrewer-ies. I like to sample the brands you can’t get regularly, like Jester King out of Austin.

“For us, now it’s an annual tradi-tion.”

Words of cheer to Darrell Fair-cloth of Archer Productions who organized the festival, billed as an event dedicated to educating people about craft beer culture and brew-ers.

“Last year we brought the first-ever beer festival to north Texas,” Faircloth said. “We held it in Plano and had a pretty good turnout, but today we’ve just about doubled it with more vendors and more at-tendees.

“Last year we’d used a breakout room for each component, so the chef ’s cooking show was in one room, the home brewing classes in another and so forth. Based on the feedback we got from our vendors and attendees, they wanted to all

be in one big room, so that’s what we’ve done this year.

“It’s been an awesome experi-ence working with Irving. I just wish they had more parking.”

Remote parking lots and shuttle buses had been secured to aug-ment the facilities, which were strained when a high school prom was booked into the fourth floor of the complex for the same night. Oh, and those high schoolers were strictly prohibited from joining the Beer Fest party on the ground floor.

The event served as a fund-raiser, too, as Honor Flight DFW promoted efforts to fly veterans to Washington, DC to visit the vari-ous memorials to honor their war service. World War II Navy veter-ans Robbie Campbell, Lloyd Wha-len and Basil Gentry have already had a chance to take the flight, but were on hand to help raise money to let others participate.

“It costs money to take that

flight, you know,” said Gentry. Honor Flight Board Member

Rhonda Ensey explained that there are four hundred veterans on the waiting list for a flight. And as they age and pass away, their voices will be stilled.

“We’re losing so many stories each day,” she said. “And we need funding. We’re a totally volunteer organization. Even the volunteers that travel on the flights with the veterans have to pay their own way.”

Is there a common link between the Honor Flight mission and the Beer Fest?

“Well, Mr. Gentry was on a Navy ship that carried supplies to islands in the Pacific,” Ensey said. “They called it ‘Beers, Bombs and Beef.’

“So maybe there’s the connec-tion,” she concluded, as the three veterans solemnly toasted.

By Phil CerroniOf the many events surround-

ing the PGA’s annual HP Byron Nelson Championship, one of the most beloved is the Kroger Youth Clinic where pro and youth golfers alike come out for an afternoon of recreation and instruction. This year the clinic was a great success with well over one hundred youngsters crowded onto the driving range in order to learn from the pros.

Radio Disney’s Sharon Estrada stressed that the event was not just a skills clinic.

“It’s an educational lesson as well,” she said. “Endurance and professionalism are lessons for kids today.”

Radio Disney was in charge of crowd control, getting the kids ex-cited before the clinic proper with games like “the feared hula hoop contest” as DJ Jay Jensen put it. “We only pick the loudest, most obnoxious kiddos in the crowd.” He had those kids screaming like it was a Justin Bieber concert.

Danny Debrick, whose sons were attending the clinic, said that they were involved in local sports and leadership groups, which in turn had encouraged them to come to the clinic.

Katie Harris, an employee at the First Tee Program, was more than happy to talk about the link be-

tween golf and leadership. “We’re teaching kids life skills

through the game of golf,” Har-ris said. “This is what you could become if you work hard, take the time.”

First Tee had brought many of their participants from inner city schools and community centers to the clinic. “It’s an opportunity for kids to come out, who couldn’t usu-ally come out.”

The skills clinic was given by Harrison Frazer and Colt Knost and covered techniques from prop-er balance to stingers. Not only did they demonstrate the differ-ence between a strong drive down the middle and a hook or a slice, but they went one step farther and demonstrated how a curved shot could work to a player’s advantage.

Next came the most exciting part of the program – the trick shot exhibition by Long Drive Cham-

pion Dan Boever. It was an impres-sive show. Besides teeing off from sticks ranging from a foot and a half to four feet tall, he had excel-lent rapport with the audience, with witty jokes and observations about golfers both large and small.

“When you hit a putter three hundred yards, kids don’t care,” Bo-ever said. “They ask what can you break?”

Not only did Boever execute excellent shots with standard driv-ers, but he even had some gag clubs as well including a wobbly necked driver that looked like it was a prop out of a Marx Brothers film. Nev-ertheless, using the wobbly club, he could still send a ball soaring over two hundred yards. Another trick driver concealed a weed whacker in the head – just in case you hit the ball into the rough.

The day was a hit with both the kids and the parents.

Swifter TSA screening sought for cabin crew and flight attendants

The United Steelworkers (USW) May 16 urged the U.S. House of Representatives Subcom-mittee on Transportation Security to expand advanced Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screening programs used by pilots to airline flight deck and cabin crew members.

“Access Control Point Breaches at Our Nation’s Airports: Anoma-lies or Systemic Failures?” USW International Vice President At-Large Carol Landry said

“The problem is that the cur-rent limited versions of risk-based surveillance screening systems like CrewPASS and Known Crew Member are available only to pilots and limited to a few locations,” he said.

“Excluding flight attendants from the risk-based surveillance program creates a system where TSA agents must spend valuable screening time inspecting workers who are trained to be the last line of

defense in the aircraft cabin.”In the testimony, Landry, who

leads the union’s Airline Division, said a USW member was required to go through multiple pat-downs due to the metals implanted during a knee replacement surgery.

The invasive pat downs not only slowed security screening and caused the flight to be delayed by over an hour, but also created a sce-nario where TSA screening time was needlessly spent on a flight at-tendant with over twelve years of employment with the airline and thousands of hours of flight time.

USW-represented flight atten-dants believe that TSA could pro-vide quicker, more secure access to the flight deck by fully implement-ing a risk-based surveillance screen-ing system for the entire flight crew.

By employing a system that al-lows trusted and experienced crew members rapid access through TSA security check points, TSA will bet-ter accomplish the agencies mission to “protect the nation’s transporta-tion systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and com-merce.”

Air Pacific to be renamed ‘Fiji Airways’

Fiji’s national air carrier, Air Pacific, has announced a return to its 1958 name – Fiji Airways – to better reflect its dedication to trans-porting travelers to and from Fiji. The official name change, complete with branding and the introduction of new aircraft, is expected to take place by June 2013.

Since 2009, Air Pacific, its Chairman, CEO, and numerous staff, have worked to stabilize, re-build and improve the airline’s en-tire infrastructure.

Part of these enhancements in-clude improving flight schedules and networks; investing in new aircraft and onboard products; en-hancing the flying experience; and decreasing the operating loss that was handed down to current lead-ership over $88 million.

“This collaboration and vision sustains jobs, creates jobs, grows our economy, and positions Fiji as a destination for investors and holi-daying,” said Fijian Prime Minister Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama.

himself to the base of a cliff where he huddled for two or three days before medics found him.

Five months in a British hospi-tal followed, but Deeds wasn’t done. He was eligible to return home but stayed, seeing action in the Battle of the Bulge, then a campaign in Austria where he was posted when

victory in Europe was declared.Deeds now lives in Irving, and

according to his nephew, Larry Deeds, he doesn’t speak much about his military service.

“Not many of them do,” he add-ed.

Yet his heroism is now being highlighted as he was awarded the French Legion of Honor Medal on May 11, 2012.

In fact, the D-Day heroics of the elder Mr. Deeds, now 91, might

have gone overlooked. But three years ago he approached US Con-gressman Kenny Marchant’s office to retrieve service documents for his late brother.

John Hayes, who oversees the Congressman’s interactions with military and veterans, was tasked with researching the documents – and he uncovered Ernest Deeds’ service record as well.

“I believe Mr. Ernest Deeds was number 77 of 135 servicemen I’ve researched,” said Hayes. “He re-ceived the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, and many others.

“But today is truly remarkable.”Mr. Deeds has now been deco-

rated as a Chevalier in the hierar-chy of the prestigious honor, which was first established in 1802 by Napoleon Bonoparte. In conferring the medal, French Consul General Frederic Bontems told the gather-ing that it recognizes “virtue, brav-ery and commitment to an honor-able cause.”

“It is a sign of France’s infinite gratitude for your service,” Bon-tems continued.

Surrounded by friends and fam-ily, Mr. Deeds accepted the award with stoic grace, at one point asking fellow D-Day veteran Marvin Hig-ley to also stand and be recognized.

“He was right there where I was, just not in the first wave,” said

DeedsContinued from Page 1

Deeds.Son Tommy Deeds wiped away

tears as wife Lois beamed. And Deeds’ grandson gave him his fa-vorite stuffed toy dog to hold for

the ceremony. “It’s special,” Tommy said.For the man of the hour, though,

there was not much to say. Just this: “I’d do it all again.”

What to Expect When You’re ExpectingRated: pG-13

I really wasn’t sure what to expect from What to Expect When You’re Expecting even though my wife and I are expecting. I knew it had a solid

cast and director Kirk Jones (Nanny McPhee) delivers stand out product; so there was very little to fear. But comedies today have the ten-dency to take a turn toward crudeness and my hope was this would rely on the subject matter and not some sopho-moric cop-out for humor.

The story follows five couples in varying stages of expecting a child. They are facing all sorts of obstacles from cold-feet-fathers to an-

noying body changes to scary complications. I think the elephant in the room is the fact that there really is no way to know what to expect. Every pregnancy is a little different, and the film does a good job of carving out the moments that make for good humor; even if the person going

through them isn’t laughing.Woven throughout the film though is the re-

minder that babies are really a beautiful miracle. This sentiment comes mainly from the dads in the film. When Alex (Rodrigo Santoro) begins to worry about pending fatherhood his wife Holly ( Jennifer Lopez) send him to hang out with the “dudes”; a group of fathers who spend their time in the park with their babies. The ring leader is Vic (Chris Rock) who is always quick

to say that kids will change your life for the bet-ter, regardless how much of a pain in the butt they are.

This is certainly a pro baby movie. There is never a moment when you feel the characters second guess their move into child rearing. What you do get is seeing them struggle through all the negatives that are part of the game. And that is where the humor shines. There are many funny scenarios including a guy (Ben Falcone) whose wife (Elizabeth Banks) is pregnant at the same time his father’s (Dennis Quaid) new 20 some-thing bride (Brooklyn Decker) is expecting as well. Having the couples be from all stages of life makes this a broader comedy that is relatable to many, pregnant or not.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting is rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, thematic elements and language. It certainly isn’t for teens mainly because it deals with “old people” stuff. It certainly isn’t on the sexual crude end as many films out now.

I give it a solid 3.75 out of 5 baby wipes. It took the right road and the comedy paid off.

financial barriers to seeing their own memorials. A group of veterans and their ‘guardians’ returned to a heroes’ welcome at the DFW International Airport on May 11. While in Wash-ington, DC, the veterans visited the WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Marine (Iwo Jima), Navy, Air Force Memo-rials and FDR National Memorials as well as Arlington Cemetery.

“I was a Fireman First Class in the Navy during WWII. I was 19 when I got out,” said Laura Mays, a retired Navy Fireman. “I served in the engine room of the ship, and I was there when the war was over. Then we went into Japan and picked up the first prisoners of war and brought them out. We made two trips. That was some experience. I’ll always remember it.

“You can’t imagine going into service when about 80 percent of the workers around you are 18 years old. The responsibilities given us were just unbelievable. It made men out of us overnight.”

Mays fought back emotional tears as he spoke about his Honor Flight experiences.

“The Honor Flight had the right

name. It was the greatest honor. The trip was awesome. The reception we had in Washington, DC was just unbelievable. The memories we have from this will last forever. I’ve never gone through anything like this in my life. All of the memorials were outstanding. They really brought you to your knees. I’ve shed more tears on this trip than at any funeral I’ve ever been at.

“It’s all unbelievable. I just can’t imagine something like this hap-pening. Now the entire family is here to meet me with 40 or 50 of our friends. It is amazing.

“You do things in life, and you really are rewarded when people ap-preciate it.”

‘Bombs bursting in air’ isn’t just a phrase to Dick Trankle who re-members encountering the Japanese in the Pacific.

“I was in the Navy stationed in the Pacific during WWII,” said Trankle. “I wasn’t an officer or any-thing. I was just a guy who did what I was told to do. My biggest mo-ment was in Tokyo Bay at the end of the war. We were loading ammuni-tion and the Kamikazes were com-ing in. In that situation, you’re mind is occupied with whether or not you are going to get hit. I was fortunate.

“I was one of the Welcome

Home people who welcomed troops to DFW Airport who were arriving from Afghanistan and Iraq. Now the same thing just happened to me. It was a bit embarrassing, because the war is over; it was a long time ago. But it was a nice feeling. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated the welcome. I’m glad they remember.

“This honors group is unbeliev-able. You can’t do anything your-self. They do everything. You can’t carry anything. You’re fed. They are organized and precise. We went to every memorial in Washington. It was fabulous. We went to memorials for Viet Nam, Korea, the Pacific, the Atlantic and all of those. It was very moving. I was just glad my name wasn’t up there.”

An Honor Flight volunteer, Joe Schneider, coordinated the welcome home celebration.

“The vets are just overwhelmed. They just can’t believe that some-body can be so kind as to take them to Washington, let them see all the sights and meet other veterans,” Schneider said.

“These WWII soldiers aren’t go-ing to be around much longer. We need to pat them on the back and tell them we appreciate their ser-vice.”

The Honor Flight was a family

affair for the Sheridan clan.Glen Sheridan“This is my first honor flight, I’m

a rookie. “I was escorting Laura Mays who

is my father in law and my dad, Har-old Hubert Sheridan, who was also in the Navy and served as a mem-ber of Torpedo Squadron 49. I was just the go along guardian who was in the background. It was all about them.

“All the guardians pay their way and buy their meals. The veterans’ trips are paid through donations, and they don’t spend one cent. I would say this was one of the big-gest thrills of their adult lives.

“When we went to the WWII memorials, I saw laughter, salutes, hugs and lots of tears. Can you imagine at the age of 18 going to fight a war? They were kids. They did a man’s job in a man’s world, and they succeeded.

“There are approximately two million WWII veterans living. They are dying at a rate of more than 700 a day. So the Honor Flights have a short mission, five to eight years, and this will be an extinct era.”

It costs about $1,000 for a veter-an to participate in an Honor Flight. If you would like more information, visit www.honorflightdfw.org.

My name is Homer. I'm about 6 months old. I'm a pretty handsome fellow with a big heart. I do my best to greet everyone with a wagging tail and a big smile. I'm an active dog. Since I'm still a puppy, I need a family who will be patient with me and teach me good manners. I'm keeping my paws crossed that it's you!
