The Buffalo Soldiers posted colors at the Veterans Memorial in Buckland Park, and the event recognized Honor Flight Rochester’s 99th mission , which took place in October. Organizers said the group is now preparing for its 100th mission, scheduled for the spring. “Back in mission three, I was hoping this could go on for a couple more years maybe but to go for this long and this many missions, and over fifty one hundred veterans just out of Rochester, I just can’t—I still can’t wrap my arms around it,” said David Timmons, secretary of the Honor Flight Rochester board of directors. Timmons said Honor Flight still has open seats for the 100th flight next spring and is encouraging veterans to call (585) 210-2115.
