Flight Plans: What Veteran Advocacy Can Teach Us
About this episode
This episode features a conversation with Cindy Greenglass about her advocacy work with veterans and the impact of Honor Flight Chicago.
In this inspiring episode, hosts Liz Brohan and Mary Olivieri talk with marketing leader and nonprofit advocate Cindy Greenglass about her work with Honor Flight Chicago, the nation’s largest Honor Flight program. Cindy shares powerful stories of the veterans who travel to Washington, D.C. for a “day of honor,” and how the experience fosters healing, gratitude, and connection — especially for Vietnam veterans who were never properly welcomed home. She also highlights the ripple effect of service, from students to families to volunteers. This thoughtful conversation reminds us that honoring those who served is ultimately about humanity, storytelling, and simple acts of appreciation
