On Sept. 20, nearly 50 students from Western Pines Middle School, alongside their parents, gathered at Palm Beach International Airport to welcome home a group of American heroes returning from an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. As part of the Southeast Florida Honor Flight program, these retired service members spent the day touring the nation’s capital and visiting the monuments built to honor their sacrifices. The event is a moving reminder of the respect and gratitude that veterans deserve. The school thanks National Junior Honor Society sponsor Steven Gordon for organizing this opportunity to teach students the importance of service, honor and country.
