MIL-OSI USA: Rep. Boebert Secures Victory for Our Veterans: Honor Flight Services Resume for Our Nation’s Heroes
Last month, Congresswoman Boebert, along with 75 other Members in the House of Representatives, sent a letter to Department of the Interior Secretary Deb Haaland urgently requesting that the Department resume services for veterans participating in Honor Flight events in our nation’s capital.
This week, the Honor Flight Network, the National Park Service (NPS), and the United States Park Police (USPP) positively responded to that request and announced the resumption of regularly scheduled Honor Flights for veterans visiting memorials in Washington, D.C., and also that the agencies will resume services supporting Honor Flight visits starting June 1.
Congresswoman Boebert stated, “Our nation’s veterans are true heroes and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Honor Flights are once-in-a-lifetime experiences and their last trip to our nation’s capital for many. The least we can do is welcome veterans appropriately and thank them for their sacrifices. Restoring these important services for America’s heroes is an important victory.”
