Review

"It is wonderful to see a community come together in such an extraordinary way. Honor Flight: A Visual Journey does a stunning job of capturing what makes this country great and is an incredible reminder of how blessed we are to live in this great land." --Former President George H.W. Bush, 41st President and WWII Veteran

"Honor Flight: A Visual Journey is everyone's story -- our nation's shared history of parents, grandparents, siblings and children who have served their country proudly. The beautiful photos in this book allow us to reflect on the enormous courage of these reluctant warriors as they take you on a journey that will stay with you long after turning the final page." -- Lee and Bob Woodruff, Co-founders of The Bob Woodruff Foundation

"It's so gratifying to see members of the Greatest Generation revisit their difficult days as warriors and honor their buddies who didn't make it back. This handsome book is a moving tribute to the sacrifices they made and how Honor Flights are an important tribute from succeeding generations, thanking them for the lives we enjoy." --Tom Brokaw, Broadcast Journalist and Author, The Greatest Generation

"Honor Flight: A Visual Journey is a poignant tribute to our veteran heroes. Those of us who have been on the playing field stand in awe of all those who have served and who continue to serve on the field of battle. Read this once-in-a-generation book; reflect upon the incredible photographs and know again, the debt of gratitude we owe to all of our veterans." --Bart Starr, Retired Green Bay Packers Quarterback

Store Description

Sharing is the best surprise When we share our excess with others we�re often surprised by what we feel, what changes in us, and who we get to know in the process. Sharehouse Goods exists to create that experience for as many people as possible. Sharehouse Goods receives excess stuff from individuals or organizations (our sharers), and then we liquidate that stuff, creating jobs for people in Milwaukee. The process is simple: we receive what people are willing to share, and then we sell it online or at our storefront, creating revenue for the sharers (to keep or to donate), and jobs for people who are struggling to find employment. There�s a lot of sharing going on, and even more surprises, at Sharehouse Goods.
