HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kansas Honor Flight will host a special pancake supper Saturday, March 11 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Hope Church, 1701 N. Main in Hutchinson.
The public is invited for all-you-can-eat pancakes and two sausages for a $7 donation.
Kansas Honor Flight is a non-profit organization created solely to honor Kansas WWII, Korea and Vietnam War Veterans for their sacrifices and let them travel to the monuments connected with their wartime service.
Through the end of 2021, 3,046 Kansas veterans have been on an Honor Flight trip.
Flights to Washington D.C. occur in April, May, June, September, October, and November.
The cost to send a veteran on the normal 3 day-2 night trip is approximately $900.00. Guardians who travel with those veterans needing assistance make a contribution to cover their expenses.
Veterans are called in the order that they submit their applications with priority given to WWII, then Korean War, and then Vietnam War Veterans. Any Veteran from these war eras who is deemed to be terminally ill is given top priority.
There are approximately 450 Kansas Veterans waiting to go on this once in a lifetime trip.
