Today, the 106th Kansas Honor Flight returned to Wichita with 90 veterans, including three Korea War veterans and 87 Vietnam War veterans, after a visit to Washington, D.C. memorials.

Gas prices at some Wichita stations have climbed nearly to $4.30 per gallon as national levels surged 50% since the Iran conflict began, and drivers now face extra fuel costs of about $50 to $70 a month.

The organization depends on community donations to keep supplies available for residents.
