The Honor Flight is an organization that has locally worked to find veterans to visit the many sites of Washington, D.C. that honors veterans of several United State's wars.
Several Clinton residents have been fortunate enough to go on the trip and today, one Clinton resident is on it. Local advocate for the Honor Flight, Jeff Morlock explains the trip is all in a day for veterans.
Morlock will be the guardian for Dennis Davenport of Clinton today. Morelock explains he's made this trip before and simply wants to give veterans the chance at this opportunity. Like many trips in the past, Morelock has arranged for a special welcome once they return to Springfield.
Morlock encourages anyone who knows a veteran who has not yet made this trip to reach out to them and encourage them to make the trip. He indicates if there are veterans and their families that cannot afford the trip, he will find a means for the trip to be paid for.
To learn more about the Honor Flight program, you can contact Morlock locally at 217-853-2530. You can also visit landoflincolnhonorflight.com or find them in Springfield by contacting John Dust at 309-339-0227.
