TOLEDO - The Grainger Foundation has donated $10,000 to Honor Flight Northwest Ohio to support its mission of honoring American veterans.
"This grant will be used to take World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam veterans to Washington, D.C.," said Lee Armstrong, president of Honor Flight Northwest Ohio. "We honor our veterans by giving them an opportunity to see their memorials in the nation's capital. We are grateful to the Grainger Foundation for its generosity."
