Tomorrow is Veterans' Day, a day this Navy veteran does not take lightly. With the ranks of World War II veterans shrinking by the day, here's a documentary that aired on Veterans Day 2010.

Day of Honor documents the emotional journey of 93 WWII veterans during their trip from Chicago to Washington, D.C. The 30-minute documentary was produced in conjunction with Honor Flight Chicago, an organization which flies WWII veterans to the nation's capital to see the national memorial that was built in their honor. The veterans are treated to many surprises throughout the day and concludes with an emotional homecoming back in Chicago.
