SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Hundreds welcomed veterans home Sunday from their honor flight to the nation's capital where they visited war memorials, Arlington National Cemetery and other landmarks.
Sixty-four veterans from WWII and the Korean War flew out Friday.
The Honor Flights are free for veterans. Each trip costs $240,000 and relies on donations.
Joining the veterans are escorts who will spend the weekend supporting the veterans, guiding them and making sure everything goes smoothly.
