Veterans can use Honor Flights’ free flights to help them see the city’s numerous war memorials.
It is only fitting that the business would do this, as these memorials were constructed to memorialize these heroes.
At Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in 2015, a sizable contingent of veterans was waiting for their Honor Flight. Their happy moment was captured on camera and uploaded on YouTube, where it has already received over a million views.
While waiting, three women started singing “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” and when men started getting up to dance, the tranquil atmosphere in the terminal changed to one of excitement.
A buddy standing close offered the first man to stand a cane, which he gladly declined. He then transitions into a complete dance like a pro, as shown in the video.
You’re never too old, as one YouTube user put it in their remark.
Many of his contemporaries were moved by the first man to dance to stand with him and start dancing as well. We wonder if they were all skilled dancers back in the day based on their movements.
Merin Perryman and Paul Kopey, two of the dancing men, are both 90 years old! Both the nearby audience and the millions of online viewers were inspired by the entertainment they produced.
Many others were moved by the sight of men who had been brought together by tragedy yet still showed such enthusiasm for life. Even other airport visitors rose to join the men.
