Last Honor Flight of year takes off from CVG in the morning to take veterans to see their D.C. memorials


Honor Flight Tri-State’s sole mission is to fly veterans 65+, who served stateside or overseas, to their memorials in Washington, D.C. at no cost.
 
The October 23rd trip will include visits to the World War II Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, Iwo Jima, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the US Air Force Memorial and other Washington D.C. sights.


 
The flight will depart CVG at 7:30 a.m. It will be preceded by bagpipes from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department, a TSA color guard ceremony and other special remarks in the area near the east end of the security checkpoint, all beginning about 5:45 a.m.
 
The return flight to CVG will arrive at 8:15 p.m.

Members of the public are invited to attend the welcome celebration at the welcome point in the main terminal. 
 
This is the last of six Honor Flight Tri-States taking place in 2018.
