ESCANABA – Veterans from the Upper Peninsula woke early this morning for a 5:30 bus ride to the Delta County Airport on their way to see the memorials in Washington D.C. Escanaba Public Safety and Patriot Guards escorted the buses.
The Gladstone High School Band played as the veterans and guardians checked in. They walked a line of Patriot Guards holding American Flags and thanking them for their service. It won’t be the last time today that they hear those words.
