A Wyoming Vietnam veteran makes his first trip to Washington D.C.

from Wyoming Watch · host Wyoming Tribune Eagle

Vietnam-era U.S. Navy veteran Billy Fiorelli is making his way to Washington, D.C., next week with his husband, Paul, for the first time in their lives.   The trip is completely paid for by Wish of a Lifetime, a charitable affiliate of AARP, as part of AARP's Voyage of Valor, which takes American veterans on trips to the nation's capital.   Billy Fiorelli said it was important for him to make this trip now, because when he gets home, he'll begin chemotherapy treatments to combat stage 3 cancer after doctors found tumors on his aorta and lymph nodes. He has previously beaten cancer three times.   This week on The Perch, he spoke with the WTE's Taylor Staples about the upcoming trip. Stick around to hear a recap of local headlines and a preview of upcoming local events.   New episodes published every Friday.   Provide feedback or suggestions to [email protected].
