World War II Navy veteran Dick Ramsey said going on a recent Honor Flight for D-Day veterans was “better than coming home from the war.” The Port St. Lucie resident, 90, took the flight to Bedford, Va., and Washington, D.C., from June 5 to 7, along with his guardian, David Traill, a high school history teacher at Suncoast Community High School, Stuart. Both men said the trip, made possible by Honor Flight of Southeast Florida, changed their lives.
