BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — 7 News' Taylor Epps and Pheben Kassahun had the honor of traveling with 35 veterans from Western New York to our nation's capital with Buffalo Niagara Honor Flight in October.
It was a historic trip as it was Honor Flight's first-ever all-female mission. During our special, Voices of our Veterans: Women Warriors of WNY, you'll hear the stories behind the mission.

Before the trip, we spoke to U.S. Army Reserve veteran Rose Ann Nowadly Pagan, who said she cried when she first received the call to join the mission to Washington, D.C.
"To be a part of that and to be honored is just so overwhelming," she said.
Nowadly Pagan proudly served as company commander of the 277th Quartermaster in Niagara Falls. She said the trip would allow her to connect with other veterans while visiting the service memorials.
