More than 60 veterans from New York\u2019s Southern Tier, and surrounding areas, flew to Washington, D.C. on May 12 with the non-profit, Twin Tiers Honor Flight (TTHF), a part of the Honor Flight Network. The trip was free of charge for the veterans who served during World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival in Washington, TTHF \u201cMission 7\u201d was greeted by the D.C. community inside the airport. Veterans were then transferred to chartered buses that transported them to multiple stops, including the World War II memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Marine Corps War Memorial, U.S. Air Force Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.<\/p>\n

Waverly, N.Y. resident, Norman Westervelt, a U.S. Army Korean War era veteran, said he enjoyed the trip and actually didn\u2019t mind the near 90-degree temperatures in D.C. that afternoon. He commented that the most memorable part of the trip, was, \u201cArlington National Cemetery and the Changing of the Guard, and the Korean War Memorial.\u201d<\/p>\n
