This Is The Honor Flight Chicago

Indeed, the Honor Flight Chicago has been here a while;
And all of us now running it will wear a winning smile.
And that is not the only one, for every single vet
Who’ve made the flight now wear a smile as big as it can get.
There is a lot more going on than you would likely guess;
Expenses and logistics for each flight we must address.
For 12 straight years we’ve carried on, quite magical in facet.
Because donated time and money funded every act.
The veterans themselves did not put out a single dime;
The ways and means to pay for that not easy hills to climb.
But understand this—once we got into it, we were hooked!
The same for those who’ve donated, for everything we’ve booked.
At times, it seemed a crisis had been meted from above;
But there’s not one amongst us who doesn’t call it love!
This pandemic won’t last forever, and no resolve we lack;
Which is to let it be known that WE WILL BE BACK!
