NEW WINDSOR – Veterans from the Korean War, Cold War and Vietnam War will depart on Hudson Valley Honor Flight’s Mission 35 to Washington, D.C. All are invited to honor our heroes and give them the send-off and welcome home that many of them never received but so rightfully deserve. The send-off ceremony will be at 6:30am sharp (arrive early) and welcome-home reception at 8:00pm. Both will be held at the Stewart International Airport, 1180 1st Street, New Windsor in the baggage claim area of the main terminal. There will be 83 veterans on this flight. Of them, one is a Korean War veteran; seven are Cold War veterans; and 75 are Vietnam/Vietnam era veterans.
