50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind: Marc and Angel Hack Life. If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? In my own life I have been working on this. There are very few things that I like which I…

I've been trying to be okay. My mother forwarded an e-mail to me about one of the Veterans from our first Honor Flight out of Oregon back in June. He passed away this past Monday. He has been so sick for a long time, and he made it to the top of our list because…

Early morning flight out of Portland - our Vets were up at 4am to get to the airport and on the plane at 7:00 am. Before we left we were sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for the shuttle, and the hotel staff had made bagged to-go breakfasts for everyone to make sure the Vets…
