Wish the Vets a great day!
U.S. Oval, Plattsburgh, NY – September 6, 2025 – North Country Honor Flights 64 and 65 are in the air. As of this evening, the Honor Flight will have transported 980 veterans to and from our nation’s capital, where they visit the memorials honoring their service. Thirty vets are on today’s flights.
As usual, there was a great turnout at this morning’s 7 a.m. send-off ceremony at Veterans’ Park. Veteran Gary Liberty read the names of the vets who passed away since the last flights: James Thomas McArdle (Flight 30), Robert Boswell (Flight 41), and William Kennedy (Flight 54).
Early this evening, people will gather at the Veterans’ Park to welcome the vets home. Everyone is invited!
The Peru Gazette will post the military biographies of today’s honorees as soon as we’re able to do so.
