Longtime Peru residents and military veterans Ted Soucia, Bernie Steuart and Larry McSweeney are Washington D.C. bound today as they are honored for service to our country by the North Country Honor Flight.

Larry McSweeney, a longtime member of the Peru Volunteer Fire Department, was ready to go when two fire trucks, an ambulance and several fire fighters arrived at his Pleasant Street home at 6 a.m. this morning.  Ten “Plattsburgh Hog” motorcyclists led the procession to the U.S. Oval.

Clinton County Legislator Peter Keenan is also on the flight. He is escorting Willsboro resident and U.S. AIr Force veteran Thomas Thornton.

Click here to see Larry McSweeney being picked up and the ceremonies at the U.S. Oval and Clinton County International Airport. 

Please turn up your speakers to enjoy the music.

Tried to get my dad who is 88 and his best friend who is 87 on this flight for about a year now. Its not that they didn’t have room, its that they didn’t think they did enough to be recognized . Will keep trying 🙂 LOVE WHAT THE HONOR FLIGHT DOES

Thank you John. Tim was not able to take pictures like he thought he would, but you captured it so good. I think this was more emotional than this morning! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
