Are these honor flights a one day event? I figure that the WWII vets are in their 90's (or darn close to it). The early rising, early departure from Orlando (I presume), 2.5 hour flight, bus tour to WWII Memorial and other sights, and flight back to Orlando and trip to The Villages. This makes for a very long and tiring day for these guys, doesn't it? I realize they are glad to be honored like this.

Do the guardians pay their own expenses and about how much is it?
