LANSING, Ill. (October 11, 2017) – The Legion Riders invited The Lansing Journal to join them as they escorted two Lansing veterans back home after a day with Honor Flight Chicago. It was a fun evening, getting to know members of this community within the military community within the Lansing community. And it was impressive to see the respect and appreciation these generations have for each other.

We’ll have more stories about veterans in the November 1 print issue of The Lansing Journal, including information about Honor Flight Chicago, these veterans, and this ride:
