A Message from Barrie Finnegan, Director of the North Country Honor Flight
North Country Honor Flight #30 will be heading down to Washington DC this Saturday with 15 more North Country Veterans. We hope everyone will join us once again to pay tribute to our nations defenders. The send-off ceremony will begin promptly at 7 a.m. at the Veterans Park on the US Oval.
The parade will start immediately after the ceremony with law enforcement and motorcycle escorts leading the way. Please join us for a great family friendly event you’ll be glad you got up early for. The return welcome home is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. back at Plattsburgh International Airport.
Flight #30 will take 1 Korean Veteran, 1 Cold War Veteran and 13 Vietnam Veterans on their trip of a lifetime.
This flight was added to the original lineup due to an ever increasing waiting list. We know we are risking our faithful crowd by sending another flight but we feel it is imperative to reduce our waiting list to a reasonable time frame.
We would like to thank everyone involved with North Country Honor Flight, no matter how big or small, your efforts contribute to a wonderful community program.
