MARION, IL – (Jerrica Jordan – Marion Republican. Please click on the link above for the full story. Here is an excerpt below.)
Several veterans huddled inside the Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois Wednesday, eager to hear the details of the next Honor Flight to Washington D.C., coming on Oct. 17.
Robert Swafford of West Frankfort said he has never seen his memorial. He spent 16 months with the Army in Korea, in 1953-54.
Swafford learned about the Honors Flight program through his daughter, Janet Wood, who accompanied him to the announcement. She sat nearby and filled out his application.
