LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) - Local veterans wishing to visit memorials built in their honor could have their trips paid for this year.

Flight organizers say the trip is an experience every veteran should have the chance to take.

"In terms of personalizing it,the send off, the welcome home and everything that goes on in D.C., we have a great experience for our veterans and that's why we want to keep it going, said Freedom Honor Flight President Pat Stephens.

The first Freedom Honor Flight of the year will take veterans to the capital on May 6. Veterans will have another chance to visit the memorials on September 16.

Veterans can apply for a seat at FreedomHonorFlight.org. All veterans can apply for the trips, but World War Two veterans will be prioritized.
