A local veteran was welcomed home last week from the Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C.

Mike Ferguson made the trip to Washington, D.C. June 20 thanks to the Honor Flight that gives veterans a chance to check out the monuments in Washington, D.C. 

That's Jeff Morlock with Battle Cross Crusaders who invites the public to be a part of a fundraiser they have coming up this weekend in Wapella Saturday evening.

Find the Battle Cross Crusaders on Facebook for more on that event and other opportunities to help local veterans in the community.
