My brother (a fellow Air Force guy) sent this to me today.  I HAVE to share it with y'all.

Arlington Fly-over

 

The video is about the Arlington National Cemetery burial of two Vietnam pilots whose bodies were recovered in the last two years. Because of budget cuts and the costs of lavish vacations for the Obamas, the current Administration declined a fly-over during the funeral.  
 
Seeing as how the government can't honor those who died serving America with a fly-over, civilian pilots then filled the gap.

Awesome Fred. Thanks for sharing. What a great honor those volunteers were able to give the family.
