HONOR FLIGHT #10

On May 29, 2013, in the early morning hours, the 10^th Northeast Indiana Honor Flight of 75 World War II veterans departed from the 122^nd Air National Guard Base in Ft. Wayne and arrived in Washington DC.  They will be met at the airport by many volunteers and board their buses to begin their journey to the World War II Memorial.  During this guided tour, the World War II veterans from Adams County and other Northeast Indiana communities will visit the World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Lincoln, Women’s War Memorial and Iwo Jima Memorials with the final stop being Arlington National Cemetery.  While at Arlington they will witness the Changing of the Guard at the end of the day.  These are just a few of the main highlights from this trip.

The first Northeast Indiana Honor Flight was held on May 13, 2009 after much preparation.  In a little over 3 years, eight total flights will have been made, carrying over 400 World War II Veterans to see their memorial in Washington DC and a 11th is being planned for the fall of 2013.
