ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) – A group of local veterans and their families are one step closer to taking to the skies as they wrap up their Blue Ridge Honor flight orientation. The Blue Ridge Honor Flight is a local nonprofit that enables American veterans to travel to Washington, D.C., visiting the memorials dedicated to honoring the “service and sacrifices of themselves and their friends,” according to their Facebook page. The group will be flying out to Washington, D.C. next week to see many of the memorials honoring our nation’s veterans and visit historical sites across the city.
