LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Some have called it a trip of a lifetime and even life changing.
Southern Nevada veterans had a chance to visit war memorials built for them thanks to Southern Nevada Honor Flight.
“I’ve seen the mobile wall, but I’ve never seen the actual wall itself,” said Vietnam Veteran Michael Morgan.
Michael Morgan made the trip with Honor Flight Southern Nevada. But seeing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall was not easy for him. There are more than 58,000 names on the wall.
“A lot of friends,” said Morgan.
He added, “I miss them. That’s the biggest thing. They didn’t get a chance to grow up in this world.”
Angela Little, with the Las Vegas Raiders, was a guardian on the trip. Guardians are with veterans each step of the way, helping them navigate all the memorials.
“That’s the deepest honor a person can have, is to give back what they’ve given ten times over,” said Little.
