American is transporting two special groups of World War II veterans to Washington, D.C., so they can be recognized for their service. On March 10, American partnered with HBO and The Honor Flight Network to bring 250 WWII veterans who served in the Pacific for a visit to the World War II Memorial. The group will travel on AA's "Flagship Liberty." The special charter begins in Chicago and make stops to pick up veterans in Cleveland, New York and Boston.
AA is also flying 382 former Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), the first women in history trained to fly American military aircraft, from around the country to Washington, D.C., where they will receive the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor from President Obama.
