Sioux City, Iowa — Honor flights for local military veterans to fly to Washington D.C. to visit the memorials honoring their service and sacrifice will begin again next month.
All expenses are paid for those veterans through donations, and the Sioux City Musketeers hockey team presented a check Thursday to sponsor the next 84 World War Two, Korean and Vietnam veterans making the flight to the nation’s capital. Travis Morgan, along with team owner Lloyd Ney, presented a check for 85-thousand 700 dollars to honor flight representatives in Sioux City.
Vietnam veteran, Richard Storm of Sioux City flew on the last honor flight back in October. He served in Vietnam for one year starting in March of 1970.
Storm says after coming home from his Vietnam service he was looked at differently than he is today, so he did not talk about his service for years.
This will be the 9th Midwest Honor Flight and it will leave on May 14th.
