‘Let's welcome them home:' Community unites to give veterans a hero's welcome
Family and loved ones lined the halls of the Tri-Rivers Career Center, U.S. flags in hand. Bethany Johnson, executive director of Honor Flight Columbus, reads out the first set of names. 'Let's welcome them home,' Johnson said. The hallway erupted in cheers and waving flags as 19 veterans walked through the middle of the celebration. A few stepped into the middle to shake veterans' hands and thank them for their service. The welcome home celebration, the final event of the Honor Flight at Home, Marion program, is a favorite among participants. Donald Belt who served as a U.S. Marine from 1968-1972 and was a participant in Saturday's program. Encouraged by loved ones, he decided to sign up for Honor Flight at Home. 'I just wanted to be there with my people,' Belt said. Duward Azbell served in the U.S. Army from 1966-1968. He previously had been on Honor Flight Columbus and was accompanying another veteran during Saturday's at-home program. Azbell said he's grateful to have made it home from his time in service and shares his gratitude by participating in Honor Flight. 'I'm even more honored that our country doesn't forget us,' Azbell said. This year marked the sixth program Honor Flight at Home has done. In that time, Honor Flight at Home has honored 135 veterans, which is the equivalent to about a plane and half. Honor Flight at Home, Marion, was founded by Margie Saull to honor veterans who can't fly to Washington, D.C., through Honor Flight. The at-home program brings Washington, D.C., to the veterans instead. The program invites any veteran who is age 65 or older with at least one day of active service to be part of the program. Veterans at the June 7 event were given Honor Flight shirts, a badge and had their photo taken. They listened to speakers, received letters from loved ones and thankful community members and were honored individually for their service. The program ends with the loved ones of veterans and community members lining the hallway cheering for veterans as they leave. The next Honor Flight at Home, Marion program will be June 6, 2026. Those interested in participating can fill out an application and send it to Saull at saullgw4@ She can also be reached at 740-360-8902. 'The most challenging thing is to find the veterans,' Saull said. Saull encouraged participants and guests to promote Honor Flight to other veterans who may be interested. She said she takes applications from both Honor Flight Columbus and Honor Flight at Home, Marion with her wherever she goes. If she sees a veteran while she's out, she'll thank them for their service and tell them about Honor Flight. 'So if I'm in Walmart or Kroger's, I might take a little longer shopping, but that's okay,' Saull said. 'I'm talking to veterans, convincing them they need to be honored, whether it be going on to D.C. or coming to the Marion program.'

I Swear By This Product For My Bathroom And Hallways — And It's Not Just For Kids
Few things ruin a night of sleep faster than waking up to pee in the middle of the night and turning on the blinding overhead light in your bathroom, jolting you awake and making it nearly impossible to fall back asleep once you're done. The same can be said for having to turn on the hallway light so you don't fall down the stairs in the dark when all you want is a midnight snack. Frankly, I had always assumed nightlights were for children who struggled with a fear of the dark. But when a previous roommate wordlessly put a nightlight in our apartment's shared bathroom, I quickly realized how subtly revolutionary these practical little gadgets are. I absolutely loved never having to turn on the overhead light late at night, so I could actually fall back asleep after a bathroom trip. I now swear by my GE rotational LED nightlights for my bathroom, kitchen and dark staircases, so much so that once I moved into a new place, I, too, wordlessly bought and plugged in nightlights of my own. I'm now on a self-proclaimed mission to convert everyone I know, because I'm truly convinced that they're a life hack. These nightlights come in a welcome two-pack (since once you realize how useful these are, one won't be enough anyway) and are light-sensing, so they stay off during the daytime and light up at dusk when a room grows dark. This style gives off 40 lumens of soft illumination so you can easily see and get around without hurting your eyes. I love how they rotate a full 360-degrees so you can direct their light directly to where you want it (I like to concentrate the light above my sink), plus they're sleek enough that you'll have room to utilize the outlets above or beneath them. These little home upgrades are so practical and affordable, I'm convinced they'd make great small gifts, too. While my rotating nightlights are my ride-or-dies, I've also compiled a few other great nightlight styles, including one with an extra-bright light and a dimmable, motion-sensing version. Read on for more standout options. Amazon These light-sensing plug-in nightlights are a bestseller on Amazon and give off warm white light to help illuminate bathrooms, nurseries, hallways, kitchens and more. They're also available in styles that give off cool white light or that cycle through the colors of the rainbow, a cool feature that's sure to be a hit among kids. $11.34 at Amazon $11.86 at Walmart Amazon This nightlight is dimmable, so you can adjust it from 0 lumens all the way up to 100 lumens. It's also light-sensing, so it'll turn off during the day and on during dusk. $11.44 at Amazon $11.44 at Walmart Amazon Life editor Kristen Aiken spotted these minimal amber-colored LED light on Eva Chen's Instagram and grabbed them up for a family member who just moved into a new home. The light-sensitive device will automatically illuminate when it senses darkness and has an ultra-slim profile. $11.97 at Amazon Amazon This motion-sensing option handily turns on its soft white light when it detects motion in the dark, and turns off again after 60 seconds of inactivity (you can also opt to turn this function off, keeping the nightlight either always on or always off). You can adjust its light from a softer 30 lumens to a bright 60 lumens. Its motion-sensing function makes it a great choice for dark areas like garages or even closets, plus helps cut down on your electricity bill. It's also available in a number of colorful lighting options (including blue, purple, green and more) as well as in a daylight white color. $12.99+ at Amazon This Affordable Grout Cleaner Has Jaw-Dropping Results This Surprisingly Chic $7 Pill Case Is The Most Important Item In My Bag Under-$30 Upgrades Your Bathroom Is Probably Missing
