Honor flights resume this Saturday, May 14th
A message from Barrie Finnegan, Director of the North Country Honor flight
North Country Honor Flight will begin a big year next weekend May 14th with its first two flights of the year. With eight flights scheduled this will be the first of four flight days with two aircraft on each day. The send off ceremony is scheduled for 7am sharp at the Veterans Park on the US Oval. We encourage everyone to come out and show their support and respect for the 30 Veterans on these flights.
We are sending 1 WWII Veteran, 7 Korean Veterans, 1 from the Lebanon crisis and the rest are from the Vietnam War. After the ceremony there is a parade to escort the Veterans over to the Plattsburgh International Airport where there will be 2 charter aircraft waiting to take them to see their memorials in Washington DC. There is a breakfast buffet (10.00) at the West Side ballroom immediately following the parade for all Honor Flight participants.
The return home celebration is scheduled for 8:00pm right back at the Veterans Park.
