A vet returns home after the war with a new realization . . .

As I listened to some of the WWII vets who had gone on the May 2012 flight with Honor Flight Fort Worth, I was touched by this observation from one of the vets about mutual sacrifice: "“I remember when I came home from the war, my aunt who had reared me as her own was there to meet me.  The first thing she said was, ‘Oh, both arms and both legs!’ It was only then that I realized the great sacrifice on the part of those who could not go.  I kept that in mind as I began to rebuild a civilian life. God bless all American Patriots!”
