Honor Flight Wyoming will send the final group of Wyoming's World War II veterans on a two day trip to Washington, D.C., on Oct. 11 - 12. This will be the sixth and final trip to the Nation's Capitol sponsored by Honor Flight Wyoming, a non-profit foundation. A charter aircraft will carry more than 160 veterans, guardians, and staff to visit the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. The public is invited to a community farewell ceremony for Wyoming's World War II veterans at 7:45 a.m. on Oct. 11, at Cheyenne's Ice and Events Center at 1530 W. Lincolnway. The Cheyenne police will escort the veterans' motorcade to the Wyoming Air National Guard accompanied by World War II re-enactors in military vehicles and members of the Patriot Guard motorcycle group. The public is also invited to join the "welcome home" corridor inside the Cheyenne Regional Airport terminal, at approximately 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 12.
Partnering with the Wyoming Veterans Commission and numerous individual and group volunteers, Honor Flight Wyoming provides a trip of a lifetime at no charge to more than 600 Wyoming veterans. Guardians are matched with veterans on a 3:1 ratio in most cases and donate $800 to make the trip. This ensures donated monies go directly to covering the costs for the veterans.
