HEBRON, Ky. (WXIX) – More than 80 Tri-State veterans and their guardians are traveling to Washington D.C. Wednesday on the fourth and final Honor Flight of 2024.

Honor Flight allows veterans the opportunity to see their memorials in our nation’s capital for free and to participate in ceremonies that pay tribute to their service to our country.

This group will tour the World War II Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and U.S. Air Force Memorial.

Before the veterans leave the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, they will be treated to the patriotic sounds of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Pipe and Drum Corps.

The veterans will be welcomed back home at CVG on Wednesday night.
