Honor Flight was created with a simple, yet powerful, mission – honoring the nation’s veterans by sending them to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built to commemorate their service and sacrifice. The Honor Flight Network was founded to honor America’s World War II veterans and includes those who served in the military during the Korean and Vietnam War eras, along with veterans of any service era who are critically ill. Transporting approximately 22,500 veterans annually, Honor Flight Network has flown over 300,000 veterans to Washington, D.C. since its inception.
