Podcasts about honor flights

#JeffGottesfeld #HonorFlight #CandlewickPress #MattTavares #ChildrensBooks #PictureBooks #KidsLit #Veterans #HonorFlightNetwork #WashingtonDC #HistoryForKids #ReadAloud #LibraryBooks #BookInterview #Storycomic On this episode, I'm joined by award-winning children's author Jeff Gottesfeld to talk about Honor Flight: Celebrating America's Veterans, illustrated by Matt Tavares and published by Candlewick Press. The book releases March 3, 2026. The story introduces young readers to the real-life Honor Flight program (organized by the Honor Flight Network), which brings aging U.S. veterans to Washington, D.C. on an all-expenses-paid trip to visit the memorials built in their honor—and to receive the kind of homecoming many never got. Jeff brings a personal connection: he served as a Guardian on an Honor Flight in 2023, and Matt Tavares also participated as a Guardian. We talk about how you turn a powerful real-world experience into a kid-accessible picture book, what it means to write about service and memory without turning it into a lecture, and how illustration can carry emotional weight with restraint and dignity. The book also includes back matter for curious readers.   The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.  See more of Morgan's Work at: https://morganquaid.com/     Storycomic Logo designed by Gregory Giordano  See more of Greg's work at: https://www.instagram.com/gregory_c_giordano_art/     Want to start your own podcast?  Click on the link to get started:  https://www.podbean.com/storycomic     Follow us:  Are you curious to see the video version of this interview?  It's on our website too! www.storycomic.com  www.patreon.com/storycomic  www.facebook.com/storycomic1  https://www.instagram.com/storycomic/  For information on being a guest or curious to learn more about Storycomic?

This is the official VIC 4 VETS Honor Roll, highlighting our Honored Veterans during Veterans Appreciation Month. SUBMITTED BY: Craig Harms _____________________________________________________________ Maurice Kleyer DATE OF SERVICE: 1969 (Vietnam) Hi Vic and Ken, I would love to submit my ex-father-in-law, Maurice Kleyer, to be featured on the Vic 4 Vets Honor Roll. Maurice is a lifelong resident of Waterloo, Illinois, and he is incredibly proud of his hometown. My love and admiration for this man knows no bounds, and I have truly never met anyone with more grit and determination. A proud Navy Seabee, Maurice grew up working hard on a local dairy farm before answering the call to serve his country, working as an equipment operator in Vietnam in 1969. When he returned home, he dedicated himself to the community he loves, spending 36 years as a lineman with Monroe County Electric right there in Waterloo. Along the way, he raised two wonderful daughters Kimberly and Kristin with his high school sweetheart Jeanne. Maurice is a fighter in every sense of the word. In 2017, he underwent a double lung transplant. His resilience since then has been nothing short of miraculous. In 2024, he was able to experience the Honor Flight—a deeply meaningful tribute for a man who has given so much. Today, you can still find him living to serve and help others in the Waterloo community. When he isn't tinkering in his workshop or maintaining his three-acre yard and massive, nearly one-acre garden, he is showing up for the people he loves. He is a fiercely proud grandfather who never misses his granddaughter Reagan’s sports games or choir performances. Maurice embodies the very best of our local veterans: hard work, an unstoppable spirit, and a lifelong devotion to his family, his country, and his hometown. Thank you both for everything you do to honor guys like him. Respectfully, Craig Harms (CAH pilot) ______________________________________________________________ Today's VIC 4 VETS Honor Roll Inductee, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, Gemini Wealth Group H.E.R.O.E.S.

Watch the Devotion Based on Acts 2:21 Remember the Fallen with Resurrection Hope Last month I was in our nation’s capital, and I took some time to walk around the National Mall. When I reached the Vietnam Veterans memorial, I walked around the statue of the three service members. As I stood behind the statues, I noticed that their gaze is fixed on the black granite wall upon which are etched the names of their fallen comrades in arms. Just then a group of men in wheelchairs rolled up. They were a group of Vietnam veterans on their Honor Flight. Some took pictures. Others just sat there with their hands folded, remembering…  This made me think ahead to this weekend. On Memorial Day weekend we remember those who have died in service to our country. But we do not grieve the dead the way that the rest of the world grieves because we have hope. We know that Christ is risen and that he lives. Those who died while serving our country and died clinging in the risen Lord Jesus, they also live!    The apostle Peter quoted the prophet Joel in his Pentecost Day sermon in Acts chapter 2 and he said this: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Acts 2:21).  My prayer for you is that when you take time to remember this weekend – whether you do that on Monday at 3:00 PM local time, the National Moment of Remembrance, or you do that by sticking a flag in your yard, or hanging it on your garage, or laying a wreath on a tombstone – my prayer is that your soul is comforted with Jesus' resurrection promise that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”   Jesus promised the one who was crucified with him, “Today you will be with me in paradise.” This promise confirms that those who died in service to our country clinging to Jesus as their Savior – their souls are with Jesus right now in heaven. I pray that you are comforted with the knowledge that because Christ's tomb is empty that one day their tombs and their urns will be empty, too. Their bodies will rise from the dead and they will live forever remember. The one who died and rose again never to die again did so, so that those who call on his name will never die and that includes you. Prayer: Lord Jesus, as we remember those who gave their lives in service to our nation, comfort hearts that still carry grief and loss. Remind us that death is not the end of those who call on your name. Because you died and rose again, your people have the sure hope of eternal life. Strengthen those who remember the fallen with the promise of your empty tomb. Lord, through the blood and sacrifice of those who have perished you continue to bless our nation with freedoms, most notably, the freedom to proclaim your truths. Prevent further shedding of blood. Grant us peace so that your Word flourishes among the citizens of this great country. In your name I pray. Amen.    Written and recorded by Rev. Paul Horn, WELS National Civilian Chaplain to the Military, San Diego, California.

Paul Loeffler, besides being the voice of Fresno State Athletics, is the co-founder of Central Valley Honor Flight. Until you've been a part of an Honor Flight, it's hard to fully appreciate how a 3-day trip to Washington D.C. with 60-70 veterans can be life-changing. But... it is.

Since its inaugural flight in October 2013, Central Valley Honor Flight has led the effort to honor local World War II veterans by sending them to see their memorial in Washington D.C. When forming several years ago, the organization not only knew the need was great, with an estimated 5,000 WWII veterans in the Central Valley’s seven-county area, but they also knew they had to act fast, because these veterans are unfortunately passing away all too often. Visalia Rawhide is dedicating a game to fallen Deputy Randy Hoppert, donating 100% of ticket sales and matching funds to support his family after he was killed in Porterville. Hoppert died while responding to a report of shots fired during an eviction, and his death has sparked a region‑wide outpouring of support.

A lot of veterans grind through blurry vision, eye strain, and overpriced frames because nobody ever told them the VA can cover eye exams and prescription glasses. This episode puts that benefit in plain language, straight from a fellow infantryman who now runs the operation that fills millions of prescriptions for veterans each year. You will hear how Sean Loosen moved from West Point to Iraq, felt the culture shock of civilian work, and eventually stepped into leading PDS Optical, a company built around Pride, Dignity, and Service. Then the conversation locks onto the practical stuff veterans actually need, including who qualifies for VA eye care, how the VA workflow moves from optometrist to optician, and why the process can be smoother and faster than most people expect. It closes with a look at what it means to serve beyond the job, including their Honor Flight sponsorship.
