An Honor to Honor Them

Among the welcome home festivities for the returning 111 Vietnam Veterans aboard Honor Flight Chicago #121 was the Joliet Central Army ROTC, which included their nine-member presentation squadron and an additional 48 cadets. Under the direction of Major (Ret.) Phillip Jayko and MSG (Ret) Gary McClellan, presentation of colors was made during the opening ceremony and the service branch flags were presented for the US flag line walk through. As the veterans arrived to meet their friends and loved ones, the JROTC led the final segment of the Parade of Honor accompanied with patriotic music by the Frankfort Brass Band under the direction of Mike Orenic.
