The list of local World War II veterans planning to be part of the May 21 Flight of Honor keeps growing.
Here are the latest men signed up from Salisbury/Rowan County, Kannapolis and Concord:
From Salisbury: Harry Troop, Roy Wilson Stowe, Harvey Edward Bogle, James Morrow Brooks, James Gilbert Deal, John Burgess Fisher, Thomas Alexander Foreman Jr., Greer Neel Goodman, Dave Graham Jr., Lawrence L.

The US Airways chartered Flight of Honor will include 120 World War II veterans from 13 N.C. counties and 23 cities and towns.
Sponsored by Rotary District 7680, the one-day roundtrip from Charlotte takes the veterans to the War II Memorial and other sites of interests in Washington, D.C.
The flight, lunch and stops in Washington do not cost the veterans anything. Another Flight of Honor is being planned for September.
