The North Country appreciates its veterans
June 22, 2024 – U.S. Oval, Plattsburgh, NY. – The show went on; it was probably one of the best ever. Heavy rain at 7 a.m. today didn’t deter “Thunder in the Burg” motorcycles, law enforcement and a huge crowd of well-wishers from attending the North Country Honor Flight Send-Off Ceremony. Flights #54 and #55 transported three Cold War veterans, one from Desert Storm, and 26 Vietnam Veterans to Washington, D.C.Cadyville native retired U.S.A.F. Major General Robert Parker spoke. He saluted the Veterans for their service, thanked everyone who attended, and congratulated the organizers for the outstanding ceremony. General Parker said he has been to other send-offs, but they don’t compare to the North Country Honor Flight’s ceremony.
