Tomorrow the next mission of the Great River Honor Flight program will head to Washington DC. This will be the 31st mission overall since the program started back in 2010 and will bring the total number of local veterans who have flown to Washington, D.C. for free to 967. This is also the first trip where every veteran going is from the Vietnam era.
