Unified School District no 251

The purpose of Honor Flight – Student Edition, is to establish connections between teenagers and WWII & Korean War Veterans that allow both generations a better understanding and appreciation of each other. The goal of Honor Flight is to safely take elderly veterans to Washington D.C. to see their Memorial. The key to the success of both of these is the student guardians. They must be willing to sacrifice of themselves to provide an unforgettable opportunity for the veterans. This is not a sight-seeing tour; this is a two-day gift of full servitude to an elderly veteran.

The Honor Flight Network strives to recognize American veterans for their sacrifices and achievements by flying them to Washington, DC to visit their service memorial at NO COST. The Honor Flight Network is currently accepting applications from veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and others, as well as terminally ill veterans. The Honor Flight Network achieves this goal safely by furnishing guardians who fly with each veteran on every flight to provide assistance and help veterans to have a safe, memorable, and rewarding experience.
