The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Honor Flights Expanded to Korean and Vietnam Wars
The not-for-profit Honor Flight Program initially started as a way to get World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the WW II Memorial at no charge to them. It was opened up to Korean War veterans in 2016 and now, this year, to Vietnam War veterans.
I have been writing about this program and Honor Flight Chicago these last two weeks in my Cooter's History Thing blog.
