Have you heard of "honor Flight" before ? I heard of specific trips but had no idea that an organized group sponsors them. "Honor Flights" is a patriotic program that honors our World War II and terminally ill heroes by transporting them to Washington D.C. memorials, free of charge. This is the homepage for Hudson Valley [NY] Honor Flights, http://hvhonorflight.com/about-us/ which is part of the National Honor Flight Network. The network has 100+ non-profit “hubs” across the USA. Future plans here are to host Korean and Viet Nam veterans. The next Honor Flight for Westchester County is 18 October 2014. Barb .
