Bette Bulletin
We have a very special Bette Bulletin this month, from Bette herself:
I want to send a massive note of gratitude to all ”my” WWII veterans. As I fight the toughest battle of my life, I am humbled by the support, cards, letters, and prayers that I have received and that I continue to receive. Yes, it has been tough fighting this aggressive cancer. I have thinning hair, blisters on my hands and feet from the chemo, numbness, tingling, pain in my extremities, and constant nausea.
Yet whenever I’m feeling discouraged or low, I read and reread the cards and letters I have received. Your kind words and prayers continue to give me the strength I need to fight this disease so that I can continue to honor our most senior heroes — our WWII veterans — who have fought far greater battles than mine…
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your part in my continued recovery and thank you for the privilege of having been a part of your day of honor. To say that you are the Greatest Generation is an understatment…
With much love and gratitude,
Bette Nahas
Keep those comments coming!

Bette,
It is my absolute honor to work with you. You are an amazingly strong woman and a huge asset to the Honor Flight Chicago team. We are so happy to hear you starting to have more good days than bad days as you fight this battle in your life.

Hi Bette – I was shocked to read that you were ill. You are such an important part of the Honor Flight. I had the pleasure of meeting you when I was a guardian on the April 2009 flight with my father. You were a very important part of our very special day. You are an amazing woman and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Bless you.

I still get a large lump in my throat and moist eyes when I think of my Honor Flight Chicago trip on May 12th. You and the rest of the Honor Flight group deserve to be honored yourselves. I sincerely hope your recovery is rapid and complete. I cannot thank you enough for your work with us veterans. God love you.
