Once again, the troop had the privilege of taking part in a RI Honor Flight event by providing the war veterans a warm welcome home. Veterans from WW II, the Korean War, and others were flown to Washington, DC to visit the memorials and have dinner with dignitaries. They flew out early on October 15, spent the day in DC, and returned late in the evening. The scouts showed their respect by holding to salute, with many of the veterans saluted back as they passed by the troop. Several people approached the boys to give a sincere thank you for being there.
Troop 8 received an honorable mention in an article about the event entitled “Honor Flight ‘Thunderbolt’ Connecting New Bonds for Life”, by John A. Cianci.
