AUSTIN, Texas — Editor’s Note: KVUE is kicking off a new partnership with Honor Flight Austin. The organization takes military veterans on special trips to Washington D.C.

For many of them, it’s the first or *only* time they’re able to visit the memorials honoring those who died in the wars in which they served. We’ve covered news about Honor Flight for years and we’re adding to that: A commitment to bringing you the stories of the heroes among us and helping to raise money to support more flights.

This month, we tell the story of Lew Griffith, who’s been on two Honor Flight missions.
