In my mind, this is the right project at the right time.'' Newsum, an Iowa Air National Guard veteran, organized the Brushy Creek Area Honor Flight in 2009. He did it to get his late father, Clem Hentges, a World War II Navy veteran, to see the nation's war memorials.

On May 7, about 150 veterans will board the 20th Brushy Creek Area honor Flight..

The flight aboard a Sun Country Airlines 737 will depart from Fort Dodge Regional Airport early in the morning. It will land at Dulles International Airport in the Virginia suburbs of washington, D.C. There, the group will board buses for the capital.
