There’s a big ceremony at 7 a.m. Saturday morning, and you’re invited

On Saturday, August 31, the North Country Honor Flight plans to honor 30 more Veterans by sending them on an all-expense-paid trip to the Washington D.C. Memorials. Almost all of these Veterans are from the Vietnam War. We hope to send them on a journey to heal the wounds received during a turbulent time in our country. We can’t change the terrible reception they received when they came home, but we can give them the welcome home they never received. Please join us in honoring Veterans.

“Thunder in the Burgh” is back and will be a grand salute as the motorcade leaves Champlain Center at 6:15, heading for the US Oval. The send-off ceremony starts at 7 a.m. sharp, and the parade to the Plattsburgh International Airport will follow.

The welcome home will also be held at Veterans Park on the US Oval at 8:15 p.m. Please join us for a big welcome home they never received.

We thank White Management through Dunkin, KFC, Taco Bell, and Butcher Block for sponsoring these flights. These flights are expensive, and having flight sponsors ensures our mission continues. Having Dunkin at the send-off ceremony, supplying coffee and donuts, has been a fantastic addition to our program.

Please join us for any or all parts of the Honor Flight. Everything is free and open to the public, and you’ll leave feeling good about showing these Veterans the gratitude they deserve.
