Eastern Iowa Honor Flight resumes with safety measures
The Eastern Iowa Honor Flight, a nonprofit sending veterans to Washington landmarks, is renewing flights with masks, vaccination rules, and delays option. The group handles over 1,000 awaiting veterans from World War II Korea and Vietnam eras, with each trip costing about 85 000 dollars. A July fundraiser raised about 6 500 dollars from an honor float on the Wakpicada Natural Area, aiding future flights.
