BISMARCK, N.D. – A nonprofit group that arranges trips for veterans to visit memorials dedicated to them in Washington will now have its first honor flight chapter dedicated to area veterans in western North Dakota.
Western North Dakota Honor Flight hopes to raise $160,000 through sponsorships, fundraisers, and donations to send about 100 area veterans to the nation’s capital on a private plane.
The trip will include visits to the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Marine Corps Memorial.
The group says it’s prioritizing World War II veterans because of their age.
