A celebration is planned Saturday, Oct. 11 for Glenn "Sonny" Fisher in Bedford, Kentucky.Â
Honor Flight Bluegrass is hosting the two-day event in two different locations in Kentucky.
Among the 84 veterans, there were three World War II veterans, seven Korean War veterans, and 74 Vietnam War veterans.
Honor Flight officials shared the individual is local to the Louisville area and covered a significant portion of the estimated $125,000 cost of the trip.
From the moment they arrived at the Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, the veterans were celebrated for their service and sacrifice.
Unforgettable, remarkable and amazing. It's hard to put into words what the Honor Flight Bluegrass meant to my father and me.
They'll get to see memorials honoring their service and sacrifice.
Two local World War II veterans are turning 100 at the end of this month.
The local nonprofit takes U.S. veterans to Washington to visit war memorials at no cost to them. The veterans are 90 years and older.
Honor Flight Bluegrass gathered 18 WWII vets at Bowman Field in Louisville for a special flight on a vintage aircraft.
