Students at Sacred Hearts School in Bradford took part in helping to celebrate a 105-year-old Army veteran’s birthday this past Feb. 28.
It all started with a Facebook post by Honor Flight New England, an organization that transports America’s veterans to the memorials in Washington, D.C. and is dedicated to their honor and sacrifice. They put the call out that veteran Louise Fleming was turning 105 years old. She was an Army nurse who served in Italy during World War II and had taken a trip with them to the Washington, D.C. memorials.
