July 4: Honor Flight and Summer Blast on WGN
It's Independence Day, which means there's lots going on, including live fireworks on TV and a chance to support WWII veterans.
At 8 tonight, WGN will feature "Honor Flight Chicago" which is a program to fly World War Two veterans to Washington, DC for free to see the national memorial. The special features some of the vets and their reactions to seeing the memorial. I met one of the guys who's involved in Honor Flight, and they're the real deal. They really want to honor WWII vets, so it's a good cause. Below is one of many videos at the site.
Then, at 8:30 tonight, WGN will air "Summer Blast" which will feature live fireworks and patriotic chit-chat for an hour. Well, I don't know if they'll be talking about patriotic topics, but at least it will be festive.
