About Honor Flight
The Honor Flight Network was founded in 2005 with the mission of celebrating our nation’s veterans by inviting them to share in a day of honor at our nation’s memorials. The Honor Flight Network is a national nonprofit organization comprised of independent hubs working together in furtherance of the Honor Flight mission. Participation in an Honor Flight trip gives veterans the opportunity to share this momentous occasion with other comrades, remember the fallen, and share their stories and experiences with other veterans. Honored veterans travel at no cost thanks to the generous donations to the organization.
The Honor Flight Network initially focused on America’s World War II-era veterans. Honor Flight has expanded its mission to include those who served during the Korean War and Vietnam War eras. The Honor Flight TLC program also honors veterans of any service era who are critically ill. Please visit www.honorflight.org or contact your Regional Hub for information on applying as a veteran or guardian for an Honor Flight trip.
