Area veterans prepared for the flight of a lifetime on Friday.
On May 13, Freedom Honor Flight will be flying 100 veterans to Washington, D.C. to see memorials built in their honor.
The single-day visit includes trips to various district memorials like the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
According to Freedom Honor Flight's President-Elect, Kevin Kuchar, volunteers play a big role.
"People want to volunteer every flight," said Kuchar. "After they experience the return, they say 'well let's see if we can volunteer', so we have lots of people who are willing to help, so we really appreciate that."
Nationwide, Freedom Honor Flight has flown nearly 2,500 veterans to Washington, D.C.
