The Central Missouri Honor Flight embarked Tuesday, May 7, on its 22nd flight to take local veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials dedicated to their honor.

Socket was proud to make a holiday donation in 2012 to send 10 veterans on this Honor Flight. (We thought it was a better way to thank our customers than sending them a tin of popcorn.)

Today marks the 22nd Central Missouri Honor Flight, and 71 American veterans are on board to visit the memorials dedicated to their honor in Washington, D.C.

Socket is proud to sponsor 10 of those veterans as the result of our 2012 holiday donation.

Eight of our Socketeers donned vests and gloves yesterday to clean up our Adopt-a-Spot stretch of roadway.

The area near our office (Clark Lane between Paris Rd and the Highway 63 interchange in Columbia) is looking pretty nice now, if we do say so ourselves!

We collected a total of 22 bags of trash from the roadside.
