Maryland Gold Star Mothers were invited to join the Honor Flight team in welcoming Vietnam, Korean War Era and other Veterans from Mid-Michigan to the BWI. Janice Chance represented the Maryland Chapter. As the Allegiant Plane arrived with our Hero veterans, they received a Water Salute from the Fire Department. Everyone in the waiting area cheered as they watched the salute and the plane taxi to the gate. There were 85 veterans accompanied by their guardians, paramedics, other support staff, and photographers. There were several women Hero veterans in the group. Also Included in the group were two members of the Tuskegee Airman Detroit Chapter. The Veterans and their guardians were greeted, thanked and saluted by the Honor Flight team, Janice and other volunteers for their selfless service and sacrifice. The Veterans, their guardians and the Honor Flight Director expressed their appreciation for the warm welcome that they received. The BWI Honor Flight team and Janice were able to spend a few minutes talking with the veterans, their guardians, and staff prior to them boarding their assigned bus. The Honor Flight team and Janice saluted and cheered for the veterans as their buses departed.
