GRAND RAPIDS — Seven seniors with the Oceana County Council on Aging recently traveled from Hart to the Gerald R. Ford International Airport to honor and help welcome 77 World War II veterans. The Mid-Michigan Honor Flight brought the veterans from Michigan to Washington D.C. to visit the memorial dedicated in their honor.
