House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington attended the Texas South Plains Honor Flight Trip Send-Off Luncheon in Lubbock, Texas. The event gathered nearly 100 West Texas veterans and their families before they embarked on an annual trip to Washington, D.C.
“TX-19 is the proud home of over 30,000 veterans who selflessly served our great country,” said Chairman Arrington. “I was so proud to join nearly 100 of these heroes and their families at today’s Texas South Plains Honor Flight Trip Send-Off Luncheon. Our men and women who served are living monuments of sacrifice, courage, valor, and patriotism."
Arrington emphasized the significance of the honor flight for veterans: "This honor flight is a beautiful opportunity for our veterans to visit the monuments and memorials built in their honor in our nation’s capital, reflect on their service, and pay their respects to those who didn’t return home."
He expressed his enthusiasm for the event by saying, "I’m excited these WTX veterans will have such a memorable experience and receive the hero’s welcome they deserve.”
The send-off luncheon marks an important moment for both veterans and their families as they prepare to visit national sites dedicated to military service.
