World War II veterans spent the day visiting the different sites in our nation's capital. According to those on board the trip went smoothly.

Thirty-five World War II veterans from all around mid-Missouri left Columbia at four Tuesday morning for the nation's capital. This was the second Central Missouri Honor Flight to visit DC in the last two weeks. They visited the Arlington National Cemetery, several veterans' memorials, and met with former Senator Bob Dole.

The Patriot Guard, a civilian motorcycle group that supports the military, met the Honor Flight in Kingdom City to escort the veterans back to Columbia.
