Three Korean War and twenty Vietnam War Veterans were greeted by dozens of waiving American flags Monday afternoon at Tucson International. The group returned from a three-day Honor Flight to the nation's capitol to visit the war memorials.
"This was pretty awesome tonight. I've not experienced this before. I really enjoyed it," Navy Veteran, Dennis Boneville, told KGUN 9's Pat Parris. The same sentiment shared by all the veterans Pat spoke with, including 91-year-old Korean War veteran, Bob Bourdone. "It was just awesome. I mean it's so inspirational. Meeting other people, other veterans, was amazing," said Bourdone.
