Free Flight for Veterans to Washington, D.C.
Local vets have the chance to take advantage of an opportunity to travel to the nation's capital free of charge.
"Honor Flight", a non-profit organization with the mission of transporting veterans to the nation's capital to see memorials that were built in their honor, has chartered a 149 passenger flight to leave Tri-State Airport on Satuday, May 11.
First priority will be given to World War II veterans followed by Korean and Vietnam veterans.
For more information call 740-451-0615 or visit www.honorflight.org.

I think honor flights are awesome!!
A lot of WWII vets aren't able to make it on their own and this gives them a chance to see there monument.

Just a 20 year vet? C'mon sarge! You are modest at best! Less than 1% of the population serves and even a far less number obtains the bragging rights of a 20 yr man! The Vietnam era was the toughest time to serve in modern times, due to the unpopularity of the war! Much respect for you guys!
