Oklahoma WWII Veteran Gets To Fly B-24 Bomber One More Time

A Green Country veteran is flying high, thanks to one of his neighbors.

"Sometimes we have the tendency to forget that our neighbor of 40 years or the guy in the nursing home who isn't saying much or the person sacking our groceries or owner of our company is a veteran. And sometimes it's just good to remember it and do something nice for him," said Corey Schoenewe.
