Twice a year, Honor Flight Long Island offers free day trips for veterans to visit the war memorials in the capital. They're joined by volunteer "guardians" who make sure the trip goes smoothly for the vets, many of whom are in their 80s or 90s. On Saturday, Sydney Weihs, 92, of Ridge, joined a reunion of some 50 veterans who made that journey. Credit: Linda Rosier
