Local Veterans talk about their Honor Flight

egeagle@goldfieldaccess.net For the past several years, the Brushy Creek Honor Flight has been making it possible for U.S. Veterans to travel to our Nation’s Capital in Washington, D.C. It’s a way of honoring them for their sacrifices and service to our country.

The most recent flight took off on Saturday, May 6, leaving Fort Dodge at 6:20 a.m. A total of 144 Veterans boarded the flight for the trip of a lifetime.
