Among the veterans scheduled to make the trip are Charles City Army veterans Edwin Hegtvedt, Kenneth Heitz, John Herron, William Jacobs, and Roger Kellogg; plus Navy vet Kenneth Bailey and Air Force vets Gary Quint and David Seckar.
Other area veterans taking the flight to and from Washington include Navy vets Gary Steven of New Hampton and David Stahl of West Union; Air Force vet William Enlo of Elma, and Army vets James Zwanziger of Nashua, Richard Freidhof of Cresco, and James Lantow and Arnold Boge both of Ionia.
