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 network comprised of over 125 independent Hubs working together in furtherance of the Honor Flight mission. In furtherance of this common goal, we have the opportunity to show our nation's veterans the appreciation and honor they deserve. Participation in an Honor Flight trip gives veterans the opportunity to share this momentous occasion with other comrades, to remember friends and comrades lost, and share their stories and experiences with other veterans. All honored veterans travel at no cost, thanks to the generous support of individuals and businesses around the U.S. To date, the Honor Flight Network has transported over 300,000 veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorials.

The Honor Flight Network is currently honoring veterans from the WWII, Korean War and Vietnam War eras. We also honor terminally ill veterans serving during any era. Please visit www.honorflight.org or contact your Regional Hub for information on applying as a veteran or guardian for an Honor Flight trip.
