October 9 was a very special day for 121 Vietnam Veterans, including four Sisseton natives. They participated in the Midwest Honor Flight on a whirlwind one-day trip to Washington, D.C. that made all of the veterans feel the warm welcome and gratitude most Vietnam veterans failed to see on their return home more than 50 years ago.

Frank Karst, Lawrence Hellwig, and brothers Harry and Ronnie Moshier were members of the second flight or “mission” that has taken place since Covid-19 caused an interruption in planned flights. The first flight this year was reserved for WWII and Korean War veterans. This one was all Vietnam veterans.
