Since 2007, when the Honor Flight Network launched, more than 200,000 veterans from across the country have been flown free of charge to see war memorials in Washington, D.C. Now, Maryland-based veterans have their own local chapter that provides them a bus tour and a “day of honor.”

Howard County resident Vivian Corbett Bailey, 101, who served in World War II, was among 30 veterans who participated in the inaugural trip of Honor Flight Maryland on May 11. More than 200,000 veterans from across the country have enjoyed free trips to visit war memorials in Washington, D.C., since Honor Flight was formed in 2007. Now Maryland’s vets can have a day of honor, too.
