Military Honor Guard at SAT airport.

Connecting here on South West and we were told some WWII vets will be coming through. Pretty neat.

I have a picture but Ill have to post it later. Im sure there is a way to do it from my phone with out having to up.admit to photobucket but I don't want to mess with it right now.

There are two lines of officers/enlisted. There are Marines, Navy, Army and Airforce in full dress uniforms here lined up on both sides of the walkway in the terminal

From what I could gather someone sponsored the group of them to go to DC to check out the WWII memorial.

Southwest used to have a program where they would provide a complimentary flight to D.C. for the vets to see the WWII memorial. Saw the gathering several times in the Columbus airport. Very moving.
