Hudson Valley Honor Flight - Mission 34 will leave and arrive from New York Stewart International Airport on Saturday, Oct. 19. It will feature 83 veterans from: Orange County - 34; Dutchess County - 21; Ulster County - 12; Sullivan County - 4; Putnam County - 3; Rockland County- 2; Westchester County- 1; Pennsylvania - 3; New Jersey - 1; and Florida - 1.

The veterans are from World War II (1), Korean War (3), Cold War (5) and Vietnam (70). Two served during both the Cold War and Vietnam.

All are invited to honor the heroes and give them the send-off and welcome home that many of them never received but so rightfully deserve. The send-off ceremony and welcome-home reception will both be held in the baggage claim area of the main terminal. The pre-flight send-off is at 6:30 a.m. sharp. The Welcome Home rally is at 8 p.m.
