In advance of Veteran’s Day, Ford Motor Company Fund will sponsor Honor Flight Chicago to transport nearly 100 Chicago area veterans to Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Ninety-one World War II veterans will travel to the nation’s capital to experience the national war memorials dedicated in their honor. The trip is being organized by Honor Flight Chicago, the local hub of the Honor Flight Network.

“Ford is privileged to play a small role in what we hope is a big day of reflection, remembrance and recognition for those who fought to defend freedom, democracy and the American way of life,” said Jim Vella, president Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services.
