Money from the State Assembly given to the Honor Flight organization.
A $50,000 check was presented to the organizers of the North Country Honor Flight yesterday afternoon. Assemblyman Billy Jones made the presentation to Barrie Finnegan, the executive director of the North Country Honor Flight. Finnegan said “I am incredibly grateful for the Assembly’s continued support of Honor Flight and our veterans.” The taxpayer dollars will help cover flight and travel expenses for local veterans to visit Arlington National Cemetery and other veterans memorials in D.C.
