Honor Flight Conyers
June 19, 2017
Honor Flight Conyers, a local chapter of the non-profit Honor Flight Network, offers free day
trips
to World War II veterans from Georgia to visit Washington D.C. to see the WWII Memorial and other national monuments and memorials. The veterans are
welcomed
with an honor guard of police and greeted with firetrucks,
ensuring
them
a VIP treatment. For more information on the program, visit www.honorflightconyers.com or call 770-483-4049.
The Honor Flight Network is
committed
to
recognizing
and
honoring
the sacrifices of
America's
veterans, with a
particular
focus
on
providing
senior veterans and those with
terminal
illness
the
chance
to visit their country’s tribute to their bravery. The World War II Memorial was not
officially
opened
until 2004,
leaving
many
veterans
without
the
means
to see the
monument
that
stands
as
a tribute to their
courage
.
