Broome county has and always will be a massive supporter of our military members both past and present as is evident in its various donations to various military-based not-for-profit organizations.
One such not-for-profit organization that serves veterans in the Twin Tiers of both New York and Pennsylvania is the Twin Tiers Honor Flight. Twin Tiers Honor Flight, part of the national Honor Flight Network, was created in 2012 when it became apparent that many of our local veterans were lacking the closure they desperately needed following their time in the service.
