ABOUT US

The purpose of Honor Flight Michigan is to fly Michigan's deserving WWII Veterans to Washington, DC to visit the memorial dedicated to honor their service and their sacrifices for our country. On 29 May 2004, the World War II Memorial was dedicated to honor "The Greatest Generation." Regrettably today, very few of these elderly veterans have the funds, knowledge or strength to complete a conventional trip to Washington D.C., via commercial airline, car or bus. It is our mission to honor as many of these selfless "ordinary people who saved the world" as we can by providing them an all expenses paid trip to visit their memorial in Washington D.C. Our program operates only on donations from local civic organizations and individuals from around the state. Our volunteer guardians pay their own way for the pleasure of personally accompanying the veterans throughout the day, including escorting them on and off the aircraft and buses as well as to the WWII Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, any other stops along the trip. We have safely and successfully, made many trips to DC with our veterans. The flights, deluxe tour bus service, t-shirts, scooters, wheel chairs, oxygen and meals are FREE to our Veterans. We pledge to continue to do this as long as funds and volunteers are available. Our flight dates are planned April through November each year. With nearly 900 veterans waiting, your support can help us increase the number of flights each month so all our waiting veterans make the trip before it is to late.
