Honor Flight for a Local Rehoboth Veteran, Earl Goff Jr.

Washington D.C. was the destination for former First Class Seaman Earl Goff Jr. and his son Earl III along with other U.S. Veterans of World War II and Korea. They were accompanied with their guardians on April 30, 2017 that was made possible by HONOR FLIGHT NEW ENGLAND that involved a State Police escort to Logan Airport in Boston and these Veterans were greeted by over a hundred well-wishers thanking them for their service.
After arriving in Baltimore to the same reception and with another police escort, the Veterans visited the World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force Memorials as well as Arlington National Cemetery where they observed the Changing of the Guards at The Tomb of the Unknowns. Although Earl Goff III had visited the memorials in the past, Earl stated this was a special day to be a guardian for his father and to be able to honor the men and women who sacrificed so much for us all and their country so many years ago.
Everywhere they visited, people would approach the former Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen, most of whom were in their 90's, and thank them for their service.
