Since Honor Flight began in 2008, almost 900 veterans have made the journey to Washington D.C. to visit war memorials.

Those interested in making a donation to Honor Flight can head over to Swanton High School on Wednesday night for the second annual Taco Night fundraiser.

The dinner costs $6 per person and runs from 5 to 8 p.m in the Swanton High cafeteria. All proceeds go directly to Honor Flight of Northwest Ohio.
