Ten Veterans Head to D.C. Thanks to Generous Donors

June’s Honor Flight breakfast raised enough to send ten veterans to D.C. next fall, thanks to massive community support — including $6,500 from Kern Valley State Prison, $1,700 from Magnolia Place, $800 from Southeast Asia Veterans, and big donations from local baseball teams like Frontier High ($4,500) and Centennial/Bakersfield High ($1,500 each). One student, Samantha Groves, shared how her grandpa’s trip transformed his life — fueling their excitement to send three vets next year. This September’s flight is a powerful testament to how communities rally to honor those who served, turning a simple trip into a lasting tribute.
