ON THE COVER | VETERANS HONOR FLIGHT when they’d bring a son or daughter, and you’d see them sharing these things together. At the end of the trip, the son or daughter would say, ‘Dad never told me about his war years, but he really opened up to me on this trip.’” Briggs said she doesn’t have plans of doing another flight anytime soon, but supports the non-profit and looks forward to the documentary. “I wanted to tell the story of how it’s really made their last few years – especially for the World War II guys – it’s really deepened and made their later years rich with their families,” Briggs said. “This trip is more than just sightseeing – it’s changed the way families communicate together.” Support the Cause <strong>The</strong>re are 16.5 million Veterans in the United States and a little under half served before the Gulf War. Since 2005 the Honor Flight Network has honored 273,543 Veterans and Honor Flight of North Dakota/Minnesota wants to continue to be a part of that number. “<strong>The</strong>re are so many people still on the list,” Matejcek said. “We really need supporters to keep these flights going. If we run out of money there are no Honor Flights.” 22 | THE GOOD LIFE
Matejcek says she remembers a time when a board member put a bus reservation on their personal credit card so the trip could continue. “We’ve come a long way since then, and It’s because of these supportive communities – ” Matejcek said. “It takes a village to make these things happen, and that’s nice because it’s the community’s way of saying, ‘thank you.’” • VIEW MORE IMAGES FROM THE HONOR FLIGHT urbantoadmedia.com | 23
