When you are young, there is a lot of mystery surrounding your future. What will
happen? Where will you go? What will you see? Who will you meet? For Richard
Scherer, the unexpected places he went during his 81 years of life are not
something he would have come up with while growing up in rural Greenwood. His
life’s journey has taken him far from home and back again while serving his
country, with the final part of this remarkable journey recently taking him to
Washington D.C. for an experience he will never forget.
The lifelong native of Greenwood and current Spencer resident traveled to the
United States Capitol alongside his eldest son, Tom, as one of the veterans on
the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight held on April 23, 2022. The trip to see the
Capitol and the many memorials across the city built to honor the country’s
veterans was an experience unlike anything Richard had seen before, and the
amount of people out in force to show their gratitude that day was a moving
experience.
