240428-N-GC965-1041 SAN DIEGO (April 28, 2024) U.S. Navy Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Michael Thornton and his wife Rainey Thornton pass through honors sideboys during a homecoming ceremony concluding Honor Flight San Diego’s “Tour of Honor,” April 26-28. More than 800 people attended the welcoming ceremony at San Diego International Airport. A small group of former SEALs and members of Naval Special Warfare’s (NSW) active force volunteered to serve as “guardians” for 90 NSW Vietnam veterans on a three-day trip to Washington, D.C., honoring their service and visiting the memorials built for their sacrifice. The trip included visits to the WW II, Lincoln, Korea, Vietnam, Navy, and Marine Corps Memorials and Arlington National Cemetery, all arranged by the Honor Flight Network. NSW is the nation’s premiere maritime special operations force and is uniquely positioned to extend the fleet’s reach and deliver all-domain options for naval and joint force commanders.
