Veterans Honor Flight fundraiser aims to aid Kansas WWII vets
A western Kansas effort plans a dinner raffle and entertainment to raise funds for Honor Flight trips. Curtis met with Corbett and others to urge donations to cover the $650 per veteran flight cost. The drive seeks help from local communities as at least 1,000 Kansas veterans await trips, with 12,000 to 15,000 statewide. The Great Bend group eyes a 172 seat charter from Garden City if funds align by September end.
