Honor Flight of Dubuque
and the Tri-States
Announces Upcoming Flights
by Perry Mason,
General Manager, Radio Dubuque
Honor Flight of Dubuque and the Tri-States will be taking flight Monday and Tuesday, May 19 and 20 of 2025. The trip is open to all Veterans who served from 1975 and older with priority given to WWII veterans, followed by those serving in the Korean Conflict, the Cold War and the Vietnam War. Terminally ill veterans from any war will be given top priority. Anyone that wore a uniform is invited to participate in Honor Flight.
Anyone that hasn’t applied for this trip can get information or to apply, please visit www.honorflightdbq.org, our Facebook page, Honor Flight of Dubuque and the Tri-States or feel free to contact Perry Mason, Hub Director, at 563.690.0815 or by email to honorflightofdubuque

It is an exciting day for the veterans and this no-cost, once-in-a-lifetime tour is a “thank you” for the service they rendered and the freedoms they secured for Americans as well as people around the globe, when serving in the U.S. military.
The cost to send a veteran on this trip is approximately $700; however, funds to provide this trip, which is provided at no-cost to qualified veterans, come from a grateful public. There is no funding from federal, state, or local governments. Volunteer guardians who travel with the veterans will be asked to make a contribution of $500 to cover a portion of their expenses.

Guard yourself against AI tricks
The year is off to a roaring start when it comes to scams. To hear the experts tell it, we have AI to thank for a lot of it. AI, or artificial intelligence, is enhancing some of the scams that were already out there and creating more as the technology increases.
Our goal: to get through 2025 without losing a single dollar to the crooks.
Last month the FBI put out an alert focusing on scams created by artificial intelligence and ways to protect ourselves.
AI-generated text creates fake social media profiles, emails, websites and texts that push financial frauds like investment and romance schemes to trick us into sending money or disclosing personal information.
AI-generated pictures can include fake driver’s licenses or credentials for fake law enforcement. As an indication of how low they’ll go, AI can even create fake pictures of natural disasters that tug at our heartstrings and convince us to open our wallets and send money.
AI-generated audio can impersonate public figures or our loved ones and, again, the purpose is to make us believe something ... and open our wallets.
It’s the same with AI-generated videos: to make us believe something is real when it isn’t.
No. 1 on the FBI’s list of ways to protect ourselves is to have a secret word or phrase with family so we can verify our identity.
As always, if you’re suspicious about a call you receive, hang up.
Don’t send anyone you don’t know any cash or gift cards. Don’t post your photos online. If they’re online now, take them down.
As a start in staying safe from AI, search online for “how to spot AI text” so you can learn to recognize it. Then look for images and audio. Get up to speed on the different ways AI can fool you. Sadly, we need to be wary at all times now.
