Honor flight

Honor Flight Bay Area, the Northern California chapter of a national travel tour group for United States military veterans, is received by a color guard at a formal ceremony Saturday, April 1 at San Francisco International Airport after a three-day trip to the East Coast. Michael Singleton, president of Honor Flight Bay Area and a Vietnam War veteran, joined by board member Connie Johnson, left, addresses the travel group of 53 people, including 27 veterans.

The veterans, dressed in red, represent survivors from the Vietnam War and the Korean War, as well as two who served in World War II, not pictured, Roy Benner, 98, and John Stokes, 97. The three-day trip included visits in Washington D.C. to the World War II Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and in Virginia to the Arlington National Cemetery, the National Museum of the United States Army, the National Women’s History Museum, and the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial.
