Its been a few years since we last spoke but I wanted to let you know of
an amazing development. Bob Helle, who was a POW for 5 years, recently
went on an Honor Flight. .... The Honor Flight was an amazing day and
Bob had the honor of laying the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier.
God bless you for all you do,
Joel S. Whitcomb
P.S. Below is a clip from my Youtube channel of Bob being "Welcomed
Home."
