A group of veterans from SW Missouri and NW Arkansas made an "Honor Flight" trip to Washington DC to see the WWII Memorial for the first time. Steve Grant from KY-3 (the NBC affiliate from Springfield, MO I used to work for) has been instrumental in covering the efforts of the program and the fundraising involved. A day I will never forget - I'm now the organization's biggest fan. Please donate if you can. Go to www.ky3.com for more information.

I am wondering if there is a list of veterans that have been chosen to be on the Honor Flight to Washington DC. Where would I find that information?
Is the Honor Flight still going on for the WWII Vets? My father is 88 years old and a WWII Veteran. He lives in Independence, MO. Do you know how I can get him involved in this flight to Washington? I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.
