TULSA, Okla. — Several veterans and their families flew to the nation's capital on April 24.
The group American Veteran Tours is taking these Green Country veterans and their family members to Washington, D.C., for about four days.
2 News caught up with them as they checked their bags - including Debbie Bowers from Grove, Oklahoma.
"I'm excited, I'm excited," said the U.S. Army veteran, "especially seeing the Korean and Vietnam wall. You know, seeing the solemn memorials, the Vietnam wall, especially if you knew a name on there, it means something."
For several, this is not their first trip to our nation's capital, but it's still meaningful.
"It's such an incredible experience. And men and women really stepped up for us. They came in and served their time for the country, which is an incredible devotion of liberty and just everything America stands for," said James Traylor. "And for them to be able to come and enjoy and see the sights what they served for, to be able to step up and help them in any way with that and whatever, is an incredible blessing for us."
Traylor is the chaplain for American Veteran Tours. He did not join them on the trip, but made stopped at the airport to pray for safe travels for the veterans.
