Wednesday, October 5th will be the 22nd HonorAir flight from Knoxville to Washington, D.C. For the first time in the history of HonorAir, there will be a couple of Manhattan Project workers on the flight.
The symbolism of this moment is very powerful. On a profound level, their attendance on this flight represents a turning point for the nation. Our country now acknowledges, decades later, that The Manhattan Project workers helped end World War II, and their service needs to be honored and celebrated.
All of you can help honor and celebrate these heroes. Their flight will return to McGhee Tyson at 8:15pm on Wednesday. Officials suggest you get there by 8pm.
These workers deserve a hero’s homecoming. It’s decades over-due. You can help. See you Wednesday evening.
