LA CROSSE,WI -

Veterans who went on the Freedom Honor Flight in September gathered to share their memories on Sunday.

The Freedom Honor Flight organizers hosted the reunion at the La Crosse Center.

About 300 veterans and their friends and family came to the event to see a slideshow of all the pictures from the trip.

Organizers say they also opened the floor to vets to share stories about the flight or their time in the service.

They say it's a special time to see how important the trip is for so many of the veterans.

"This is kind of a closure thing for them, but they'll typically come here a month, month and a half after the flight and they'll say, 'Geez, dad or grandpa or grandma is more engaged now than he or she has been in years,' because they perk right up and suddenly they've got something to talk about and you put the nickle in and they talk for two hours about how they had the honor flight experience," said Freedom Honor Flight President Bill Hoel.

One of the Korean War veterans at the reunion said on the flight he felt appreciated and recognized for his service.

It's a feeling he says he's never had.

"Korea is known as the forgotten war, Vietnam unfortunately was acknowledged in a negative way. Korean War was, "Oh you were gone? Where were you?' There was no recognition, so this serves a very important ending," said Korean War veteran Irvin Yelle.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa The ruling African National Congress of South Africa demanded an apology Monday after U.S. officials detained and questioned a South African businessman and former government minister in New York last week.

In an embarrassing hangover from the apartheid era, former freedom fighter Tokyo Sexwale was detained because he was on America's terrorism watch list.

The names of some anti-apartheid activists who opposed the racist system before South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994 reportedly remain on the U.S. terrorism watch list. The U.S. didn't remove former President Nelson Mandela from the list until 2008, years after he retired from public life.

Mandela and other ANC leaders were designated "terrorists" during their struggle against apartheid. Sexwale, like Mandela, was part of the ANC's armed wing and served time as a political prisoner on Robben Island.

Sexwale, one of South African's richest men, has interests in mining and energy. In 2011, Forbes listed him among 10 African "millionaires to watch."

The ANC reacted with outrage at his detention and called for an unconditional apology.

"Comrade Tokyo Sexwale is a former minister of a democratic Republic of South Africa, a decorated freedom fighter, activist and leader of our liberation movement, not a terrorist," the party said in a statement Monday. "The very fact that the government of America continues to view members and leaders of the African National Congress as terrorists is an affront to the global anti-apartheid movement," the statement said, adding that current President Jacob Zuma was also an ANC freedom fighter during the anti-apartheid struggle.

ANC members were designated as terrorists by the apartheid government and were barred from entry to the U.S. without special permission from the State Department.

In 2008, then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice expressed her embarrassment that she had to provide special permission for Mandela to visit the United States. Later that year, the U.S. Congress passed legislation authorizing that rules rendering visitors "inadmissible due to terrorist or criminal activities would not apply with respect to activities undertaken in association with the African National Congress in opposition to apartheid rule in South Africa."

There was no State Department response to the ANC call for an apology. An email from a department official did not address whether any other senior ANC members remained on the watch list or whether there were plans to remove any ANC officials who remained on the list.
