HONOR FLIGHT

HONOR FLIGHT

Honor Flight, a program started in May 2005 in Dayton, flies World War II veterans free of charge to visit the WW II Memorial in Washington, D.C. Some facts:

Honor Flight grew out of the efforts of Earl Morse, a pilot, physician assistant and retired Air Force captain.

Veterans fly free, but escorts or family members who accompany them pay their own way.

Honor Flight operates between April and November.
