FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can my wife/husband go with me?

A:             No.  At the present time, we have many veterans on the waiting list and thousands                  more who will apply.  It is doubtful that we will get to every deserving  veteran in time.                    Already we have had some veterans pass before being able to make the trip.  Many                  more will be lost before being able to make the trip.  The only spouses permitted to go,                  are those who are veterans themselves.

 

Q: How much does it cost?

A. The cost is FREE for everything.  No money is needed unless you intend to purchase souvenirs.

 

Q: Can my son, daughter, grandson, etc. go as a guardian?

A:             Only under certain limited circumstances.  Our TOP priority is the safe travel of ALL                  the veterans.  A normal ratio is 8 veterans to 3 guardians.  Who will or will not serve as                  a guardian and how many guardians will be needed is the sole responsibility of the                  Program Director.  That decision is based on many factors, such as:

                 A.             How many disabled veterans are scheduled to go?

                 B.             Of the disabled veterans going, how many will have to be physically                                         carried on and off the bus?

                 C.             Which guardian applicants are most qualified?  Medically trained, active duty                                   military personnel and veterans who have previously participated in a flight                                   are given top priority and serve as leadership members.  The applicants                                     physically capable of assisting in the lifting of WWII Veterans are also a top                                   priority.  Once the director feels enough of those positions have been filled,                                   other applicants are then considered.
