TUCSON, Ariz. — The Honor Flight Southern Arizona , that flies veterans to the memorials built in their honor in Washington, D.C., is facing a new kind of battle. The local group had to cancel their upcoming flight for June, because they don't have the funding to pull off the trip.
"If you're a Vietnam veteran or a Korean veteran or a World War II veteran, and you haven't been on a flight, go on our website and apply," Dunlap said."It is a life changing experience. It really is. I've been doing this since 2012 and each flight I go on, it's different. It's just amazing." "We've never really been anywhere together alone on a trip," Unwin said."And this was just a very meaningful and fun weekend for the both of us."
That's something he doesn't want to have to imagine, especially knowing what these trips do for veterans like Unwin.
