In a display of reverence and gratitude, a motorcade will escort Congressional Medal of Honor recipients from DFW Airport to Gainesville, Texas, on Thursday afternoon.

The motorcade, consisting of over 550 vehicles and spanning 8 to 9 miles, will showcase public safety vehicles from the surrounding area.
