HONOR FLIGHT NETWORK
A special tour for our heroes to see THEIR memorials with HONOR!


All donations to our federal, nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization are tax deductible. Contributors should consult their tax advisor concerning the financial benefits of making such a donation.
Veteran Application
Honor Flight Network recognizes American veterans for your sacrifices and achievements by flying you to Washington, D.C. to see YOUR memorial at no cost. Top priority (for which we are currently accepting applications) is given to World War II and terminally ill veterans from all wars.

In the future, Honor Flight Network will be expanded to include Korean War and Vietnam War veterans. In order for Honor Flight Network to achieve this goal, guardians fly with the veterans on every flight providing assistance and helping veterans have a safe, memorable and rewarding experience.

For what you and your comrades have given to us, please consider this a small token of appreciation from all of us at Honor Flight Network.

Where would this country, or the world for that matter, be without the dedication and services of those young men and women we call American veterans? Throughout history, our nation has turned to our military to protect others so that we may enjoy the freedoms that we cherish today. These brave men and women were not making decisions about the right or wrong of war; they were following orders and doing what they were told. We owe so much to these veterans whose sacrifices cannot be captured in a few words, who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country, who carry scars that remain for the rest of their lives.

It is truly Honor Flight Network's privilege to fly our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at the memorials built in their honor. Our highest priority is to the aging World War II veterans along with any veteran facing terminal illness. Other veterans such as the Korean War and Vietnam War troops are included in our program and will be addressed in the near future.

If you know of someone who is a World War II veteran or a veteran with a terminal illness, please fill out an application and send it in. Our goal for 2009 is to fly at least 25,000 veterans. And remember, every World War II veteran flies free. We will not accept a donation from a World War II veteran.

For further information, please contact us at 937-521-2400
or via email at veteran-application@honorflight.org

All veterans wishing to go must fill out an application, which can be found online at www.honorflight.org, or you can call their office in Springfield, Ohio at 937.521.2400.



Although it is free for veterans, if you wish to bring someone with you who is not a veteran, the cost will be $295 for that person.
