TUCSON, Ariz. — With our monthly KGUN 9 Giving Project, we bring you stories of Southern Arizona nonprofits that change lives for the better—but are in need of community support in order to continue their work of giving back.
The Honor Flight is in need of both volunteers and donations at this time, having already canceled this month's planned flight to Washington D.C. due to a lack of funds. "We honor them by taking them back and spending a day going around to the memorials that were built in their honor," says Ed Dunlap, a retired Marine and member of the board of Honor Flight Southern Arizona.
"When we charter a flight it's about $220,000," Dunlap tells me."But everything's covered—flight, hotels, meals—while we're gone, the buses to take us into D.C.""I was one of the lucky ones. I survived it all without a mark," says Briseno, recalling his time in the midst of some of the fiercest fighting in the Korean War.Briseno came home from Korea and after that never talked about his time in the Army.
