Southeast Florida Honor Flight
Honor Flight is a 100% volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization created solely to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices. Our WWII, Korean and Vietnam War heroes are flown to Washington, DC to visit and reflect at the memorials built to honor their service and sacrifices.
Funds are raised to ensure that every veteran can make this trip at no cost to them. With your support we can turn the dream of visiting their memorial into a reality for these heroes. Thank you for your support. |
Conceived by Earl Morse, a physician assistant and Retired Air Force Captain, the inaugural Honor Flight took place in May of 2005. Six small planes flew out of Springfield, Ohio, taking only twelve World War II Veterans on a visit to the memorial in Washington, DC. Later that year, after word got out, the list of veterans grew and Honor Flight transitioned from a few small private aircrafts to commercial airline carriers with the goal of accommodating as many veterans as possible.

Since then, Honor Flight has flown more than 200,000 veterans to Washington, DC from cities all over the country. Today, Honor Flight is a national network of 141 non-profit organizations (hubs) whose sole mission is to honor America's veterans for all the sacrifices they've made on behalf of our country.
