WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Efforts to take World War II veterans to see the war’s memorial in Washington are in flux in Kansas.
The Wichita Eagle reported that one organization that conducted the free flights is on the verge of disappearing, and another is trying to replace it.
Problems came to a head after Springfield, Ohio-based Honor Flight decided it no longer wanted Great Bend-based Central Prairie Honor Flights to help organize trips for the national network. Issues included a veteran breaking a rib after falling out of a top bunk bed in April 2011 and reports being filed late.
Two former Central Prairie volunteers are ramping up a new organization Hutchinson-based Kansas Honor Flight. Meanwhile, Central Prairie Honor Flights is considering its options.
All the uncertainty has left supporters confused.
