MARION — On Tuesday, around 90 veterans and their guardians embarked on Mission 15 of the Veterans Honor Flight of Southern Illinois, a full-day trip from Marion to Washington, D.C.

There, the veterans visited several memorials for different wars and branches of the military. Following their trip, they returned home for the Freedom Walk, where they were greeted off the plane by their spouses and paraded through a sea of hundreds welcoming them back home.
