PEARCE GREETS NEW MEXICO HONOR FLIGHT
Washington, D.C. (October 6, 2017) Congressman Steve Pearce today greeted southern New Mexico veterans during their visit to the World War II Memorial in our nation’s capital. The veterans’ trip was sponsored by Honor Flight of Southern New Mexico, an organization that honors America’s war veterans and their sacrifices by taking them on a trip to Washington, D.C. to see their memorials.
“New Mexico has a long, proud history of military service and I’m incredibly honored to have been able to welcome them to their monuments, shake their hands, thank them for their service, and listen to their stories. These memorials offer veterans an opportunity to pause and reflect on what their service really meant to our nation. It was a humbling experience to be surrounded by these incredible men and women who served and sacrificed to defend our country and the freedoms we’re lucky to have today. I also want to thank Honor Flight of Southern New Mexico and the volunteers for ensuring these veterans had the opportunity make this trip,” stated Rep. Pearce.
