VIDEO: World War II Vets Boogie Woogie at National Airport

The veterans were part of Honor Flight, a non-profit that sends vets to DC so they can see the monuments.

We don’t know if either of these guys was the boogie-woogie bugle boy of Company B. What we do know? They had a great time recently at Reagan National Airport.

After a visit to the nation’s capital last month, these World War II veterans were serenaded by the Ladies for Liberty, who sang The Andrew Sisters’ greatest hit, “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.”

The veterans, Marin Perryman and Paul Kopey, were headed home to Kentucky and had a great time dancing at the airport while waiting for their plane to arrive, according to a post accompanying the video on YouTube.
