Information from Honor Flight of the Ozarks:

Our goal is to get our veterans to Washington D.C. to see their memorials. The safety and security of everyone on every trip are our top priorities. All Honor Flights will follow Covid-19 safety guidelines in place. This includes those from the CDC, all airlines/airports, bus lines, federal buildings and the Honor Flight Network.

In the end, it is our responsibility as an Honor Flight hub to ensure we are doing everything possible to make visits to Washington, D.C. as safe and rewarding as possible.

We will keep our Veterans, Guardians, and Volunteers up to date with changes as we are able to do so.

Do you want to help Honor Flight?

Don't have time to volunteer nor the funds to help the way you would like too?

One of the greatest ways you can help Honor Flight is to let these local Heroes know about our program and that it costs the veteran nothing! The price for these trips has already been paid for by alot of blood.

Qualifications are veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Veteran DID NOT HAVE TO SERVE IN COUNTRY TO QUALIFY. If they served during the campaign periods, regardless of where they where stationed, They qualify!

Did you also know that if you know a veteran of any other campaign after Vietnam that is terminally ill, they also qualify? Please make note of our phone number, email, and address so you can pass it along to the veteran.

The best part about this is the friends you will make. Most veterans are humbled when you tell them about Honor Flight. So GREET THESE HEROES AND TELL THEM ABOUT HONOR FLIGHT!

Please share this post, TELL EVERYONE. WE WANT TO GIVE THESE VETERANS A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.

Remember a visit, a handshake is free, dont take much time and you will make a new friend. Heck, in the amount of time that it took you to read all this, you could have already informed a hero.
