Will visit WWII Memorial in Washington D.C. on free day trip
Several buses full of WWII veterans from Fayette County got an emotional and patriotic send-off this morning as they began their trip to visit Washington, D.C.
The trip was courtesy of Honor Flight Fayette Inc, a non-profit organization that raised the funds to make the trip free of charge to the veterans.
The veterans, donned in matching T-shirts and caps, will be escorted around Washington on tour buses and will return home on an AirTran flight.
The Citizen's Carolyn Cary is with them and will have their stories in next week's edition of The Citizen.
Our gallery of photos from this morning will be up on the web shortly.
