Three Korean War Vets Honor Flights Scheduled for March in Nebraska
(AP) - In what may be a final salute by an Omaha-based organization, three more honor flights of Nebraska veterans of the Korean War will take off in March.
Organizer Bill Williams, of Patriotic Productions, told the Lincoln Journal Star that he's chartered three jets to carry more than 580 veterans, family members and volunteer guardians to the nation's capital on March 25. They'll visit the Korean War and other memorials and take in other sights on their all-expenses-paid journey and return that evening to Omaha.
In October Bill Williams chartered a flight for more 130 Korean War combat veterans who made the Washington tour.
Williams says his organization decided to "do this one big grand deal, and we're done."
