This was a very moving experience for everyone involved...the Veterans and the families.  It was a honor to a part of this event.  We are so very proud of Dick and all he sacrificed for our country.  Arlene also needs to be commended for this time in their life...as Dale was two weeks old before Dick saw him.  I know Dick had an awesome time in that 18 hours.  He saw so many things, I'm sure it brought back a lot of memories both bad and good.  Definitely a day he won't forget.
