For Don Wolford, vice president of operations and chief financial officer of the $60 million Winston-Salem City Employees Credit Union, the Oct. 26 airline flight from Winston-Salem to Washington, D.C. was both memorable and poignant.
That's because the World War II "Flight of Honor" he joined included a group of local volunteers honoring war vets under a year-long national campaign arranging trips for aged vets to the newly constructed World War II Memorial on the Mall.
The Mall to which the war vets have been making pilgrimages, accompanied by their families, has seen thousands of visitors. For Wolford the Oct. 26 flight in the company of three war vets brought back memories of his own late father, a U.S. Marine who served in the South Pacific and received a Purple Heart.
