In early October, WPBS-DT producer, Roque Murray and WWNY-TV Morning and Noon News Anchor and host of Public Eye, Jeff Cole, had the privilege of traveling on the Sixth Mission Honor Flight out of Syracuse, NY. On board were 80 veterans, three from northern New York, and WWII Veteran Amos Cambron, who is the focus of this special edition of Public Eye.

They transport our nation’s heroes (free of charge) to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill. Honor Flight Syracuse is one of more than 140 Regional Hubs in the National Honor Flight Network.
