Marrriott Hotels & Resorts hosted their stay.  Here’s video from the Marriott!

In conjunction with their new mini-series, The Pacific, HBO teamed up with the Honor Flight Network and sponsored their own flight to Washington D.C.!

Honor Flight CAK along with Honor Flights from Boston, Chicago, New York, Orlando, Baltimore and Philadelphia will join forces with HBO during our March 10th flight to Washington D.C.

HBO, in partnership with American Airlines and Marriott Hotels & Resorts, is sponsoring a special slate of Honor Flights, timed to the March 14 premiere of The Pacific. The epic, 10-part miniseries is based on the true stories of WWII Marines who fought in the Pacific Theater.

American Airlines will provide air travel for the veterans and escorts on its special yellow-ribbon 737 aircraft. HBO and Marriott Hotels & Resorts will provide accommodations at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, VA and will host special events in support of the initiative.

On March 11 veterans will be taken to the WWII Memorial at the National Mall. They will be joined by HBO, American Airlines and Marriott executives, and members of Congress serving these veterans’ constituencies.
