NEW WINDSOR—Honor Flight #11 landed at Stewart International Airport on April 2 after an event-filled day for 54 lucky veterans in Washington D.C. An estimated 500 well-wishers roared “USA!” as vets of World War II and the Korean conflict passed through the terminal.

Shirley Davis was in the crowd to welcome back her husband William. Stewart carries good memories for the couple. “I met him at Stewart field,” she said. Davis fought in the Korean War and his wife said he was excited about the flight. 

It's awesome that they can see and understand how much people appreciate what they did for our country.
