Heroes journey to ATL

It's nearly time for takeoff. Over this weekend and on Monday, nearly 30 World War II veterans from around the U.S. traveled to Atlanta ahead of the 5th edition of the Normandy Legacy Flight.

At airports across the country, Delta employees and customers rallied to give these heroes the sendoff they deserve. From heartfelt announcements over the loudspeaker to personal moments of gratitude, people came together to send these veterans off with the celebration they deserve.

As these men travel to Atlanta and soon to Normandy, they carry with them stories that shaped history, now ready to be heard once more.
