WWII veterans make special trip to New Orleans WWII museum
This final group trip is apart of the “Soaring Valor Program” which gives more than 1,400 WWII veterans a trip to the museum since 2015.
“We are here to show these WWII veterans the museum that was built in their honor and bring in these high school students to really tie in the education piece and let the next generation know what they did for us over 80 years ago,” said VP of Program Hannah Luppino.
Museum officials said the trips will end due to fewer veterans being able to travel. They add that many verans have already seen the museum.
The veterans expressed how grateful they are for the experience.
“Each stop along the way there are people waving to us, thanking us for our service, bands, music, it’s amazing,” said veteran Gloria Kerzner.
Museum officials said they will still provide individual trips for veterans and their guardians who want to visit the museum.
