WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. — Buffalo Niagara Honor Flight held its "mission briefing" ahead of the group's first all-female flight of 2025.

Next week 35 female veterans from Western New York and the Southern Tier will travel to Washington, D.C. to visit national memorials. They served in eras from the Cold War to Desert Storm, including the Korean and Vietnam wars.

People in attendance met one another and talked logistics ahead of the trip.

Each veteran will travel with a guardian, many of whom also served. The public is invited to a welcome home celebration on Oct. 12, when their flight returns to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport around 8:25 p.m.

2 On Your Side's Alissa Clausell will be on that trip as well.
