On the last full day in Normandy, the veterans participated in a private service at Bayeux Cathedrale before spending their day resting, shopping and packing for their return home. On June 12, the Delta charter team turned the veteran’s hotel into a security check point, easing the process before the special charter flight departed from DOL, landing in ATL in the afternoon.

Upon arrival, over 55 Delta employees volunteered to spend time with the veterans as they wait out their layovers to their final destinations.

While the incredible program has come to an end, Delta is proud to have created a community volunteer program, pairing members of our Global Sales team with WWII veterans to continue serving and supporting them throughout the year.
