Grafton Provides Seniors with Ride to Honor Flight Reception
Huntley veteran among those on Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.
Grafton Township is planning a senior bus trip to an Honor Flight reception for Huntley veteran Al Jordi Wednesday evening.
Supervisor Linda Moore said residents 55 years or older can join a trip to Midway Airport in Chicago to attend a reception that includes Jordi.
Jordi is a World War II veteran who was recently selected to participate in the Honor Flight. The flight to Washington D.C. is funded by the Honor Flight Foundation, a nonprofit that flies WWII veterans to the capitol and takes them to memorials and other locations. Jorid’s flight is scheduled at 10 p.m. Wednesday.
