Welcome Home for Honor Flight Veterans
Twenty-four Alaska veterans returned home on Saturday following an honor flight trip to Washington D.C.
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport was filled with welcome signs and the sound of bagpipes on Saturday afternoon.
“When we heard the bagpipes, I went, ‘Wow,’ I can’t believe this,”
“You couldn’t ask for better,”
said Howard Appel, a US Army Veteran.
During the trip, put on by the Last Frontier Honor Flight, veterans visited various memorials and monuments throughout the D.C.
- The goal of the Last Frontier Honor Flight is to fly as many veterans as it can to D.C.
- Typically, trips consist of 23 veterans, but this month the program was able to send 24 veterans to the East Coast.
