OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A free flight to Washington, D.C., has been arranged for Nebraska Vietnam veterans who want to see the famed memorials and monuments.
The June 6 excursion will be similar to the Honor Flights that carried World War II and then Korean War veterans to the nation's capital. The flight and related events are being organized by Bill and Evonne Williams, who organized the Honor Flights.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that veterans may apply on the couple's website, PatrioticProductions.org. The Williamses expect demand for one of the jetliner's 135 seats will be high, so the flight initially will be restricted to combat veterans. Two Vietnam veterans will select those who will take the trip.
