Several Guthrie County veterans and volunteers participated in the Brushy Creek Honor Flight on Sept. 18. Those involved said it was a great experience with good crowds in Washington, D.C., and in Fort Dodge to greet them. About 120 veterans were aboard the plane to Washington, D.C., to see the nation’s war memorials. The trip was the 26th conducted by the Brushy Creek Area Honor Flight with the first taking place in 2010. Since then, about 3,600 veterans from 228 Iowa communities have made the journey.
Kennedy Rolfes was one of three nurses on the honor flight. She is pictured here with her grandfather, Patrick Moylan.
