The NCK Honor Flight will take its second trip to Washington DC in May of 2012. More than 20 WW II Veterans will travel to Washington DC to visit their memorial, as well as other sites. Approximately 12 school staff members and students will travel as Guardians for the Veterans. The group will also include some community Guardians and a Physician. Contact Bev Mortimer for more information, especially if you know a WW II Veteran that has not had the opportunity to be honored by taking this trip.
