Military Living Publications is thrilled to share with you a new series - the Military Charities Spotlight. We are sharing information on charities that benefit YOU - our military veterans and their families. We are running the Military Charities Spotlight to bring attention to some worthy causes. This week we are featuring the Honor Flight Network.
Honor Flight Network is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a 4-star rating by Charity Navigator, and is comprised of independent hubs that work together to achieve the Honor Flight mission. The mission is to celebrate America’s veterans by inviting them to share in a day of honor at our nation’s memorials in Washington, D.C. at no cost.
The Honor Flight Network states "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 always travel free of charge, thanks to generous donations to our organization."
While initially focused on America’s World War II veterans, Honor Flight Network has expanded its mission to include those who served during the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The Honor Flight TLC program also honors veterans of any service era who are critically ill.
In order to maximize the number of American veterans served by the organization, each eligible veteran may only be honored on a single Honor Flight trip. You can find an Honor Flight hub near you by visiting their website www.honorflight.org. If there isn't one near you, you can look into the Lone Eagle Honor Flight, which ensures that all veterans, regardless of their geographic location in the U.S., are able to participate in their Honor Flight Experience.
If you or someone you know can benefit from Honor Flight, please visit their website www.honorflight.org or share this article. If you are interested in volunteering or donating, you may do that as well!
