Vets return from visit to WWII memorial
Triangle veterans of World War II and other wars took the journey of a lifetime on Tuesday to the visit memorials built in their honor in Washington D.C.
Posted โ UpdatedThe day-long trips are sponsored by the nonprofit Triangle Flight of Honor and paid for by donations.ย WRAL viewers donated more than $56,000 last month for this and other flights.
โItโs almost breathtaking to see it because you have heard of it for several years now and I was wondering if Iโd ever get to see it,โ WWII nurse cadet Elizabeth โPollyโ Maxwell said during Wednesdayโs trip.
After a full day in the nation's capital, the vets and their guides returned to a heroes' welcome at Raleigh-Durham International Airport.ย
