The cost of the trip for the vet is free. Each veteran will also be assigned a guardian, who will be his extended family for the day and will attend to all his needs. In addition to the WWII Memorial, those on the Honor Flight will visit the Korean, Vietnam, Lincoln and Marine Corp Memorials.

They will finish off the day at Arlington Cemetery for the changing of the guard. Food, drinks and snacks are provided. Honor Flight also carries its own medical staff to tend to the safety and well-being of all veterans.

If you have any WWII veterans in your family or if you know of any who haven’t seen the memorial yet, please contact Peters and Reece, and they will help get the process started. The next flight is anticipated to be this fall.
