Sounds like a good tribute to veterans past and present. I always choke-up during the fly-over.

My dad was Air Force and I spent quality time on many a flight-line watching Air Shows. Growing up near Airbases, those jets were the sound of Freedom- even if you had to pause during a phone conversation while they passed overhead.

God bless these men for all that they have given.
