Honor Flight fundraiser emotional



On Sept. 1, eight cadets from Incline High School Highlander Battalion attended the Honor Flight movie premiere at the Atlantis Grand Ballroom. Honor Flight is an inspiring documentary that follows a Wisconsin Honor Flight, capturing its community coming together to celebrate the veterans’ triumph and their unforgettable journey to visit their memorial in Washington, D,C. This was a fundraiser to send World War II veterans back to Washington, D.C. to see their memorial. Since the initial flight of 12 veterans in 2005, Honor Flight has escorted more than 100,000 veterans to our nation’s capital. Veterans from the Gulf War, Korean War, Vietnam War, Iraq and Afghanistan can also go on an honor flight. Our cadets helped valet, usher, and seat guests; they also collected donations. It was very emotional event.
