Dozens of veterans were given a special send-off at Bradley International Airport as they embarked on an Honor Flight Connecticut journey to Washington, DC. The group of 70 veterans and 50 guardians were escorted by Honor Flight staff for a trip to visit memorials commemorating their service in the Korean and Vietnam wars.
Honor Flight Connecticut aims to honor and recognize the sacrifices made by military veterans who have served the country. The veterans participating in this particular honor flight represent various branches of the military including the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.
The group is expected to return to Connecticut later in the evening after a day of visiting the memorials in Washington, DC. This initiative allows veterans to revisit their past experiences and pay tribute to their service.
The special send-off at Bradley International Airport was a heartfelt moment as the veterans were thanked and celebrated for their dedication and bravery. The community came together to show their support and appreciation for those who have sacrificed so much for the country. Honor Flight Connecticut continues to provide these meaningful experiences for veterans to ensure that their service is never forgotten.
