Honor flights to memorials
World War II Honor Flights transport America’s veterans to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices.
Top priority is given to America’s most senior heroes — survivors of World War II and any veteran with a terminal illness. The trip takes three days and is free for the veteran. For more information, go to www.honorflight.org.
For our area, a regional hub is Inland Northwest Honor Flight that can be reached at 509-624-0222 or www.inwhonorflight.org.
