Free Film Screening: ”Honor Flight” (at FSU)
Special screening of the inspiring film, “Honor Flight”, 6:00pm ’til 8:30pm, Wednesday, March 26th, 2014 at Framingham State Forum, 2nd floor, McCarthy Center, 100 State Street, Framingham, MA *** “Honor Flight”, [PG], 82 min., is a heartwarming documentary about four living World War II veterans and a Midwest community coming together to give them the trip of a lifetime. Volunteers race against the clock to fly WWII veterans to Washington, DC to see the memorial constructed to honor them and their epic struggle — the trips are called “Honor Flights”. It’s uncommon for World War II veterans to talk about the War, but the Honor Flight experience brings their stories out — however, success is all but ensured — 1,000 World War II veterans die every day and getting them on an Honor Flight in time is a constant battle. Many of the veterans, who now are in their late 80s and early 90s, say, with the exception of their wedding day and the birth of their children, the trip is the best day of their life. *** Light food and beverages will be provided. ***
