The event started with a banquet at the Sioux Falls convention center for the veterans, family member, guardians, board and flight crew of the Midwest Honor Flight. In the early morning October 9th we all boarded American Ailines Flight to Washington DC to tour Arlington National Cemetary, Marines War Memorial, Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial. On the return trip to Sioux Falls we were welcomed home by over 1,000 people at the Sioux Falls Convention Center arena. Local Vietnam Veterans that attended this were Daniel Rezac, Dante; Bill Lampman, Pickstown; Norman Huizenga, Platte; Gary Beeson, Wagner and Dennis Cihak, Avon. Many thanks to all that have donated to the Midwest Honor Flight fund, to Aaron Van Beek, board president, board members, crew and Guardians. It was a great honor to be a part of this.
