West Georgia Honor Flight exists solely to recognize the commitment and sacrifices of America’s heroes — heroes like Rome O. Stephens.
As a young 2nd Lt. with the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II, Stephens led a platoon in Operation Market Garden, the single largest airborne drop in history.
“During that endeavor, I lost about 18 men,” the 87-year-old recalled.
