Why Midwest Honor Flight?
The American Veteran is one of our greatest treasures, those men and women who answered our nation’s call, especially in times of great need. Our mission is to honor and thank those Veterans – our WWII, Korea, and Vietnam Veterans – by bringing them to Washington DC, for a trip of honor – at no cost to them. Please join us in sending them to experience their memorials. Volunteer or send support, it all makes the difference for a group that gave so much and asked for so little. Our desire is to fly as many veterans from Northwest Iowa, the State of South Dakota, Northeast Nebraska, and Southwest Minnesota to Washington, D.C. as we can find – at no cost to the veteran. Top priority is given to WWII, Korean War Veterans, and terminally ill Veterans from all wars.
Trips are simply not possible without public support. Prior to Honor Flight Network, our Veterans had given up all hope of ever seeing their memorials. Now they have hope… but time is not on our side. The time to act is now! This program operates on donations from organizations and individuals. Midwest Honor Flight is a 501(c)(3) Non Profit.
Please contribute to our mission, in support of our American Heroes! It costs about $853 to sponsor each Veteran and they pay nothing out of pocket for their flight. This includes their flights, food, and transportation in DC as well as a banquet meal the night before. All donations are tax deductible.
