Senator Schaefer Welcomes World War II Veterans

JEFFERSON CITY – This morning, April 27, a very rare introduction in the Missouri Legislature will take place to honor World War II veterans who have participated in the Central Missouri Honor Flight Program. This non-profit organization honors veterans by transporting them to visit their national memorials in Washington, D.C.

Missouri senators and representatives will pay tribute to the heroic sacrifices of Missouri veterans in the House chamber at 10:00 a.m. Senator Schaefer is honored to welcome the World War II veterans from throughout the state to the Missouri Capital.

“Missouri veterans have selflessly served to protect America’s freedom. I am privileged to honor their service and to show our heartfelt appreciation,” Sen. Schaefer said. “It is truly a rare and humbling occasion when one can be in the presence of nearly 200 World War II heroes.”
