WASHINGTON, D.C. – This morning, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) joined more than 650 Vietnam veterans from Nebraska for their honor flight to Washington, D.C. Fischer flew with the veterans from Omaha Eppley Airfield to Reagan National Airport. She also delivered remarks at a ceremony celebrating their service in La Vista last night. This honor flight is the largest for Vietnam veterans to date.
“It was my honor to fly from Omaha to Washington, D.C., with these Nebraska heroes today and thank them in person for their service to our country. I’m pleased so many of these veterans were able to visit the memorial dedicated in their honor. I also want to thank the organizers and volunteers for all of the time and effort they put into this trip. This is a proud moment for Nebraska and our country.”
After they arrived in Washington, D.C., the veterans visited the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
