Dozens of veterans were treated Tuesday to a day trip to our nation's capital, courtesy of Honor Flight of West Central Florida and the St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport (PIE). Early Tuesday, 77 veterans arrived at PIE and boarded an Allegiant charter flight for a day-long visit to Washington, D.C., according to a release. They visited the district's war memorials. After their day in Washington, the veterans safely returned to the St. Petersburg area on Tuesday night. The veterans were greeted with a welcome home celebration, an event that was open to the public. It also gave the community an opportunity to honor these military veterans.
