Nonprofit flies 20 veterans to Washington D.C. to see memorials built in honor of service [Video]

SAN ANTONIO – Honor Flight San Antonio took 20 veteran men and women to see military memorials built in honor of their service.

“They are the only ones who understand what you’ve been through,” Jesse Davalos, a US Army Afghanistan veteran said.

For Davalos, the trip to visit the memorials will be an emotional one, especially alongside his veteran brothers and sisters.

“Nobody else really cares, nobody else really knows and you can’t beat this bunch of guys,” Davalos said.

The memories made on the trip to Washington D.C. are thanks to the nonprofit Honor Flight San Antonio, a trip that flies veterans to see memorials built for their service. This will be the 18th flight for the nonprofit, and for Friday’s trip the veterans have more than 20 years of distinguished service and substantial military decorations from 1953 to 2003.
