FLORIDA (WJHG/WECP) – More than 120 veterans participated in an all-female Honor Flight from Lakeland on Wednesday.

Female veterans ages 32-91 traveled to Washington D.C., visiting war monuments to honor their service, sacrifices, and loved ones

Senator Ashley Moody met with them at the Lincoln Memorial to deliver a special thank you for their service.

“Our freedom exists because of the courage and sacrifice of the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. Today, I had the privilege of welcoming a group of Florida veterans as they toured the national memorials honoring their service. This extraordinary group of all-female service members shared powerful stories from their time defending our nation. Though we can never fully repay them for their sacrifice, it was an honor to meet them and offer my heartfelt thanks,” Senator Moody said.
