Warbrides.com.au By author Carol Fallows of Love and War Honor Flight is a non profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. We fly our heroes to Washington, DC to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – WW II survivors along with those other veterans that may be terminally ill. Honor Flight first flew in May 2005 with six small planes flying 12 WW II veterans, departing out of Springfield, Ohio. In 2006, with a waiting list of veterans expanding rapidly, we transitioned to commercial airline carriers to accommodate the maximum number of veterans as possible. Partnering with HonorAir in Hendersonville, North Carolina and Hero Flight in Provo, Utah, we formed the “Honor Flight Network.” Together, we are aggressively expanding our programs to other cities across the nation in 2007. Based on recent statistics, we are losing WW II veterans at the rate of 1200 per day. Honor Flight will continue do whatever it takes to fulfill the dreams of our veterans and, very importantly, our senior heroes travel absolutely free. Subsequent to the WW II veterans, our efforts will then focus on our Korean and then Vietnam veterans, honoring them similarly. HONOR FLIGHT – our way of paying a small tribute to those that gave so much; to take a memorable, safe, and rewarding FLIGHT with HONOR!!! 
The Gazettes.comDecember 20, 2007 "For The Duration" Event Honors Ship's WWII Past By Carla M. Collado Staff Writer In February, soldiers and former War Brides who sailed on the Queen Mary during World War II will convene on the historic ship to reminisce on the past and honor lost loved ones. For many, it will be the first time setting foot on the Queen Mary since the war ended. The "For the Duration" event from Feb. 7 to 10 will feature seminars, roundtables, World War II reenactors, a private "officers' club," a memorial service, a War Brides' Tea and a special multimedia event including wartime newsreels and film clips, live performances and a Bob Hope impersonator, among other activities. It is the first time the Queen Mary has hosted such an event, co-sponsored by the Trans-Oceanic shop and the Union Jack Newspaper (the country's only national British newspaper). To read the remainder of this article, click on http://www.gazettes.com/forduration12202007.html We're holding a war brides tea on board the Queen Mary on Feb. 10 as part of For the Duration, a weekend-long salute to the role of the Queen Mary in World War II and the men and women who fought for freedom abroad and on the home front. All the best, Trans-Oceanic.com http://www.Trans-Oceanic.com http://www.ForTheDuration.net The Garrison Theatre in Tidworth Debbie Beavis' DataMarine's More than one hundred thousand British war brides and large numbers of children sailed away, mostly bound for Canada, the United States, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Large groups of European women were also transported through Britain and their numbers swell the total departure figures. For the first time, name indexes to the War Bride passenger lists for ships bound for Canada and the United States in 1946 and 1947 will be available online. The first 20,000 names are available now. More will be added at weekly intervals, and will include brides bound for Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. Data for War Brides arriving INTO Britain from overseas destinations will be included soon.

Holland - Association Of Liberation Children These children through no fault of their own, grew up with absent and often unknown fathers and in some cases mothers! Over 50 years has passed, but not the longing they all have to know their roots. As we live in the 21st century, can we justify the right of anyone to have the question “Who am I?” go unanswered. Through these pages we hope to be able to bring together families in an understanding and loving way. Many allied soldiers themselves will have wondered what became of their Dutch friends, we can help put them in touch.
