Honor Flights take WWII veterans to D.C. memorial

Are you a World War II veteran? Have you seen the memorial to you in Washington D.C.?

Are you familiar with the organization Honor Flight?

If you are a WWII veteran, you’re eligible for a free, one-day trip to Washington D.C. to visit your memorial.

It is the mission of Honor Flight to honor as many of these ‘ordinary people who saved the world’ by providing  them with an organized and expense-paid trip to visit their memorial.

Local WWII veteran Charlie Tribble took advantage of the opportunity last month and came back in awe of the sprawling memorial.

The full version of this story, which includes more information on the Honor Flight organization will appear in the printed edition of The Cynthiana Democrat this Thursday, Oct. 16.
