Meet PFC Charles Vanderbilt

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 PFC Charles Vanderbilt
PFC Charles Vanderbilt, 92, served in the United States Army during WWII. He will be going on our October 10 flight. While in the Phillipine Islands, PFC Vanderbilt was on the beach when General MacArthur "returned" to the Phillipines.  He was also part of General MacArthur's island hopping forces. Following the war, PFC Vanderbilt served in the occupation of Japan.
