It was such a pleasure meeting Cecil and sharing his Day of Honor! A paratrooper, a CTA conductor, a volunteer, and an indomitable spirit. What an inspiration. Thank you for your service and Welcome Home Cecil!
William "Cecil" Johnson enlisted during the Korean War to become a "Lifer." He eventually separated from the Army in 1966 but never stopped serving. He is such a prolific volunteer at Jesse Brown VA that even the VA Undersecretary took notice! #HFC112

Honor Flight Chicago flew its 10,000th senior war hero to Washington D.C., on May 10, 2023. On that flight was Vietnam Veteran and Purple Heart recipient Raymond Szweda. Each of the 10,000 veterans we have honored has an individual story of service and sacrifice.
