On September 28th as part of its Veteran’s Recognition program the Fort Harrison Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution recently participated in the return welcoming of Honor Flight Mission number 21 from Washington D.C. to Harrisonburg. In addition, members of the JMU Army ROTC “Duke Battalion” which the Chapter honors upon graduation. served as escorts. Honor Flight was created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. Honor Flights transports our heroes to Washington, D.C. in the company of other veterans and escorts to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill. Honor Flight is currently accepting applications from any Veterans who served prior to 1975. More information can be found at https://www.honorflight-tov.org.
