Kansas veterans honored on Garden City Honor Flight to DC
World War II veterans from western Kansas travel from Garden City to Washington, D C, with guardian Derek Vale and brother Robert Vale, to visit the National World War II Memorial, Korean War Memorial and Arlington. The trip, organized by Central Prairie Honor Flight, raises nearly 100000 dollars and includes volunteers who coordinate the journey. The group returns to Garden City tonight with a hero for a welcome home event at the regional airport.
