Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport was honored to welcome home a truly special Honor Flight, carrying 22 all-female Vietnam veterans. After visiting the nation’s capital and the memorials dedicated to their service, these remarkable women returned to a heartfelt hero’s welcome—complete with a water salute, cheering crowds, and a community filled with gratitude. From students and local leaders to families and friends, Coastal Mississippi showed up in full force to celebrate and recognize the service, sacrifice, and legacy of these trailblazing veterans.
We extend our sincere THANK YOU to everyone who came out to welcome these heroes home, as well as to the many organizations and partners who worked behind the scenes to plan and organize such a meaningful and memorable experience.
