Johnston Sun Rise
Scouts from Scouting America Troop 20 Johnston recently had the honor of meeting with veterans from the Rhode Island Fire Chiefs Honor Flight Hub during one of their pre-flight meetings. This organization is dedicated to honoring veterans by providing them with no-cost trips to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials dedicated to their service and sacrifice.
Since its recognition as an official hub of the Honor Flight Network in 2012, the Rhode Island Fire Chiefs Honor Flight Hub has conducted 30 Honor Flights, transporting over 925 World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans. The next scheduled Honor Flight is set for March 30, and is currently fully booked. Another flight is planned for the fall of 2025, with applications now being accepted.
