What is Honor
Flight™? Honor Flight™ is a network of volunteers established for
the express purpose of getting as many WWII Veterans as possible to
Washington, DC to view the World War II Memorial.
Honor
Flight™
was originally set up in 2004 by Earl Morse, a
physician's assistant from Ohio.

Honor
Flight™
is
a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s
veterans for all their sacrifices. We fly our heroes to
Washington, DC to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is
given to the senior veterans – WW II survivors along with those other
veterans that may be terminally ill. Honor Flight first flew in May
2005 with six small planes flying 12 WW II veterans, departing out of
Springfield, Ohio. In 2006, with a waiting list of veterans expanding
rapidly, we transitioned to commercial airline carriers to accommodate
the maximum number of veterans as possible. Partnering with HonorAir in
Hendersonville, North Carolina and Hero Flight in Provo, Utah, we
formed the “Honor Flight Network.” Together, we are aggressively
expanding our programs to other cities across the nation. Based on
recent statistics, we are losing WW II
veterans at the rate of 1200 per day. Honor Flight will continue do
whatever it takes to fulfill the dreams of our veterans and, very
importantly, our senior heroes travel absolutely free.
HONOR FLIGHT™ OF DALLAS
Honor Flight™
of Dallas was established by a small group of people in September 2008
to bring this wonderful effort to the Dallas/Ft Worth/North Texas area,
to honor the service of the WWII Veterans in this region, and to take
as many of them as possible to view THEIR memorial in the nation's
capital. Our inaugural trip to Washington, DC was June 1-2, 2009.
We welcome any assistance that you
might want to provide, whether its help in telling the Honor Flight™ to
your friends and contacts to generate support or making a direct
financial contribution. To contact
