Moose Dunne
Honor Flights

Moose Dunne served in World War II in the Merchant Marines. Many of them were just as susceptible to attacks because they were carriers of war supplies for the war efforts. Their death rate was one in four and they were just recognized as veterans of the war by President Clinton during his presidency.

Moose spoke about Honor Flights, which are free to war veterans who then go to Washington, D.C. where they are recognized for their service during the war. Many veterans are dying on a daily basis because of old age. The average age of the veterans are 90 years of age and some have passed away on the flights The veterans involved are either World War II, Korean or Vietnam Veterans. They also visit Arlington Cemetery which is filled with veterans from all of the wars including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The veterans visit the World War II Monument and get to hear about the history of the monument. Moose went on his Honor Flight October 13, 2015.
