Nearly 100 area veterans are given a hero's welcome May 8 as they return from a quick yet symbolic trip to Washington, D.C. to see the war and military memorials in their nation's capital free of charge thanks to Inland Northwest Honor Flight. The ticketing area of the Spokane International Airport was packed with family, friends and well-wishers who welcomed the vets with a band, banners, signs, balloons and more. (Courtesy photo)
