Vets return from one last mission

Photos by Patti Stokes/NWO Triad Honor Flight: “One Last Mission”

94 WWII, Korean War, Cold War and Vietnam veterans from across the Triad traveled to Washington, D.C., for “one last mission” on April 27 to visit veteran memorials honoring their service, courtesy of the nonprofi t Triad Honor Flight. Upon their return home, hundreds of family members and supporters lined a walkway set up for them inside Piedmont Triad Airport and enthusiastically waved American fl ags, homemade signs, and the veterans’ photos. Triad Honor Flight’s next “mission” will be Oct. 12. To learn more about the nonprofi t and how you can support a veteran’s one-day trip to D.C., visit www.triadhonorfl ight.org.
