HEBRON, Ky. (WXIX) - More than six dozen Tri-State veterans and their guardians are traveling to Washington D.C. Wednesday on the Honor Flight. The trip allows veterans the opportunity to see their memorials in our nation’s capital for free and to participate in ceremonies that pay tribute to their service to our country.

A special send off at the San Antonio airport Friday morning as a group of local veterans heads to Washington D.C.

At around 4 a.m., they gathered at an Air Force base near the Fort Wayne International Airport. Veterans were filled with emotions as they prepared to fly on Honor Flight 52. “Excited and really honored to be able to go on this flight,” said Walter Bemesderfer Jr., a Vietnam War veteran from Fort Wayne.

Honor Flight Maine takes Maine veterans, at no cost, to Washington D.C. to visit memorials, museums, and other historic archives, giving veterans the chance to remember those who served, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Those Vietnam veterans will visit memorials built in their honor, and receive a hero's welcome when they return back home.

Thousands of Washingtonians protested the presence of the National Guard on Saturday, but one-on-one, the soldiers are not exactly menacing.
