Garden City to Host Veterans Honor Flight Initiative
Local advocates organize a Garden City flight for World War II veterans with goals of raising 80 000 to 100 000 dollars. Funds from community groups including 4-H clubs and anonymous donors support a project linked to Central Prairie Honor Flight which has flown nearly 1 000 veterans from Kansas. The program covers about 650 per veteran and relies on guardians and volunteers to assist aging travelers in Washington D C.
