Huntley, Honor Flight Recognize Local WWII Vet

Huntley Vet Phil LoMonaco was one of nearly 100 Honor Flight particpants who flew to Washington DC this week to tour the nation's capital.  Stationed in the U.S., LoMonaco was a bomber gunner during World War II making him one of a rapidly-shrinking group lately called "The Greatest Generation". The Honor Flight program is meant to recognize the vets' contributions.

The Village of Huntley honored LoMonaco, too, late last month honoring his service to his country.
