Rep. Vince Fong Welcomes Central Valley and Kern County Honor Flights to U.S. Capitol

WASHINGTON, D.C. - This week, Congressman Vince Fong (CA-20) welcomed two Honor Flights to the U.S. Capitol, Central Valley Honor Flight #34, and Kern County Honor Flight #53.

Honor Flight is a national nonprofit organization that brings American veterans to Washington, D.C. to honor and celebrate them. Rep. Fong is an honorary board member of Honor Flight Kern County and worked to assist with these trips so hundreds of veterans could visit our nation's capital and see the memorials built in their honor.

"We owe our veterans a debt that can never be fully repaid-and I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to thank these heroes in person," said Rep. Fong. "Spending time with these American patriots was a powerful reminder that our veterans' courage, sacrifice, and service secured the freedoms we enjoy today. As someone who has served as a guardian and participated in numerous Honor Flights, it's important to me that our veterans receive the recognition they deserve. I'm grateful to my Central Valley colleagues for joining me in welcoming these Honor Flights to our nation's capital."
