Manchester, NH - At the break of dawn, veterans arrived at the welcome area for Honor Flight New England and boarded buses. The buses were escorted by a large contingency of law enforcement to the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.

They arrived at the terminal to a heroes welcome where over 200 people lined the terminal cheering and thanking the veterans for their service. Many of the veterans had tears in their eyes as they shook hands and made their way to the airplane that would transport them to Washington, DC.

The veterans boarded the plane and were on a one day trip to tour all the war monuments in Washington and then return back to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport late Sunday evening.

This is the 66th flight for Honor Flight New England which has allowed thousands of veterans to be flown to Washington.
