Twenty-five Korean and Vietnam War veterans from Hawaii fly to Washington D.C. tomorrow to visit war memorials — a feel-good moment for the islands' aging veteran community.

• The group leaves Honolulu early tomorrow on the 2026 inaugural Hawaiian Islands Honor Flight.
• Stops include the Vietnam, Korean War and World War II memorials plus Arlington National Cemetery.
• Charles Stanley Brewer, 94, who served in the Navy as a machinist mate, is the only Korean War veteran on the trip.
• One Vietnam veteran, drafted in 1966 and sent to the First Cavalry Division, waited four years for a spot on a flight.
• Each veteran travels with a guardian, and the program says more volunteers are needed for future trips.

Outlook: The flight departs tomorrow morning, with more Honor Flight trips planned as guardians sign up.
