LANCASTER − A U.S. Navy veteran James Hanley has collected a lifetime of memories. But the surprise that awaited him during his September Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., brought him to tears. That's because his family in Virginia surprised him with a visit when he arrived in Washington. "It was wonderful," Hanley, 89, said. I'll never forget it. It was a tearjerker. My family met me. They came up from Virginia and met me at the Iwo Jima (monument). It was a surprise because I didn't know they were doing that. Oh my gosh. I teared up." Hanley and his fellow veterans got see a lot of the sites in Washington, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Naval memorial, the World War II memorial, the Korean War memorial, the Vietnam Wall and much more. Hanley served from 1955 to 1990. He joined upon his high school graduation in Youngstown. "I wanted to make something out of myself," Hanley said.
