Phillip Saul, an ex-guardian, of Vinegar, Ala., arrived just a little too late this morning to watch the take-off of 92 World War II veterans who made the sixth Mississippi Gulf Coast Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., today. The group left earlier than usual. Still, he plans to make sure he's in just the right spot to watch the veterans receive a welcome home salute when they return tonight about 7:30 to Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. Between 3,000 and 5,000 coastal residents usually are on hand when the veterans and their guardians return to South Mississippi. An encore flight will be made Nov. 5 before the Honor Flight program concludes.Tuesday, October 1, 2013
