Congressman Young gave the following comments at the Last Frontier Honor Flight “Welcome Home” celebration: “Welcome home. I’m sorry I wasn’t there to meet you [ in Washington, D.C.], but it’s great to greet you here as you return home. Remember when you returned home from combat they welcomed you too; we welcome you with our hearts. Thank you for your service. God bless you for what you’ve done. I hope everyone who has freedom today remembers the Great War and how you defended this country, man, women and child, and especially yourselves. Thank you!” Veterans and volunteers of the Last Frontier Honor Flight departed the Ted Stevens International Airport on October 21, 2014 and enjoyed time touring war memorials in Washington, D.C. before making the more than 4,000 mile journey home on October 25, 2014. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
