The 24 Heroes Flight honorees and the volunteers traveling with them have arrived in the nation’s capital.

The East Texas veterans traveling with the Brookshire’s Heroes Flight were greeted Monday by patriotic balloons, and applause from strangers after landing safely at Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C.

Also there to greet them were the TJC Apache Belles and East Texas congressman Nathaniel Moran, who was with them the rest of the day as they toured the U.S. Capitol and Library of Congress.

Veterans will visit the World War II, Korean, and Vietnam war memorials on Tuesday.

The group is made up of veterans who served in World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War, the Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan and the War in Iraq.
