After Rector toured the Battle of Britain bunker, a command center where airplane operations were coordinated during D-Day, he told Jowers he felt dizzy.
There, right outside the bunker, Rector quietly died on the soil where he risked his life to defend decades ago.
"He walked out of that bunker like his tour was done," Jowers told Florida Today. "He completed his final mission."

Before his remains were sent back over the Atlantic, Jowers was honored in a special service filled with servicemen and women from the U.S. and British Armed Forces, Stars and Stripes reported. The American Embassy in London donated a flag to drape over Rector’s coffin.

Glad he got to see England one last time.  Makes me wish I could afford to rent a RV for a week or so to take my grandfather to DC to see the WWII Memorial before he passes away.  He isn't able to go on any of the Honor Flights due to his doctor not liking the risk of blood clots forming in his legs during the flights.

Might be worth trying a GoFundMe, advertise it on Facebook, then friends and family might chip in to pay for an RV rental.

They don't make 'em like they used to.
