ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When Rex Miller's draft notice came, he went to his physical in Detroit, Michigan, before slipping into Canada with some buddies. He called home, and his WWII Veteran father told him in no uncertain terms to get back to the States. Rex inevitably went to war in Vietnam, but the biggest shock of all was how he was treated upon his return to "The World" following his tour. Then, decades later, Honor Flight Chicago flipped the script.
