A group of veterans from the U.P. are home after being treated to a trip to Washington D.C. in honor of their service.
The annual event is organized by the Honor Flight Network, which is a non-profit organization that focuses on sending veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at the city’s memorials.
The group was made up of 15 World War II veterans and 60 Korean War Vets. They left Wednesday morning and had a jam packed day full of sightseeing.
This was the eighth Honor Flight sponsored trip to Washington, D.C. and the next flight is scheduled for September 16.
The entire trip is provided to the veterans free of charge, provided for by funds raised by the Honor Flight program.
