Final Honor Flight Before 250th Anniversary

Twenty-eight veterans received a heartfelt hero’s welcome in Plattsburgh before boarding Honor Flights to Washington D.C., a poignant send-off marking the nation’s 250th anniversary and honoring decades of sacrifice. Brothers Gary and Elmer Durant, Vietnam-era vets, shared how their reception today—filled with cheers and respect—contrasted sharply with the disrespect they faced upon returning home decades ago. As these flights continue to uplift and recognize service members, the Durants carry a message of unity and gratitude, reminding us that true patriotism is honoring those who’ve served, especially those long overdue for recognition.
