Donations Needed for Always Free Honor Flight

Posted: Updated:

Volunteers were hitting up tailgates in Bluefield Friday night collecting donations for the second Always Free Honor Flight.

It is a trip for veterans to visit war memorials in Washington, D.C.

The trip is sponsored by the Denver Foundation.

Dreama Denver said time to get involved is running out.

"When it comes to World War II, the greatest generation, time is of the essence," said Denver. "These men are older, they're in their late 80s and early 90s and before it's too late, we want to honor them."

The inaugural trip was June 6 and the next trip is Oct. 3.

If you're a veteran and you'd like an application, call 304-425-8660.
