Meet HMC Otis Chasteen

Honor Flight Fort Worth will be taking 2 flights in October to Washington, DC to visit the WWII Memorial. The flights will be on October 10 and October 16 on American Airlines out of DFW International Airport. Each flight will have 26-27 WWII veterans and their guardians. We still need donations for our October 16 flight!

Meet HMC Otis Chasteen
On our October 16 flight will be Hospital Medical Corpsman Otis Chasteen, 88.  In WWII, hospital corpsmen hit the beach with Marines in every battle in the Pacific. Hospital Corpsmen are frequently the only medical care-giver available in many fleet or Marine units on extended deployment. HMC Chasteen served in the Pacific Theatre aboard the USS Bandera, the USS Herald of the Morning,  and the USS Pasadena.
