The Military Officers Association of America has bestowed upon Honor Flight the Distinguished Service Award for 2012.
Honor Flight is a national non-profit organization founded in 2005 to give aging or terminally ill veterans a day of honor in Washington D.C.
There is no cost to the veterans. Thousands of them have participated in the last six years.
The Philadelphia hub was started last summer by Springfield (Delco) resident Andrew Schiavello.
