South Florida veterans will return to the skies next month as Honor Flights resume visits to Washington, D.C., that allow veterans to pay their respects to their fallen compatriots and reflect on their service to their country.
The Southeast Florida Honor Flight organization will send about 65 veterans, their chosen guardians and volunteers to Washington on Nov. 6 for the first Honor Flight since November 2019.

As Southeast Florida Honor Flight coordinator Veronica Stein notified each veteran of the upcoming flight, she said, veterans responded: “I’ve been waiting so long for this day.”
“We have 600 veterans currently on our waiting list, so we are thrilled to resume our mission,” she said.
