Greetings!
Hope you are well and thank you for sticking with us during a year filled with uncertainty. After a long pause, we were finally able to get two Old Glory Honor Flight Missions off the ground in August and September because of your support. Sadly, a couple of our veterans who went on those trips have since passed away. For us, it's a sad reality; our veterans are aging, many are fighting against Agent Orange poisoning or have other serious health challenges. Sometimes it's a race against time. After every mission, we take pause; we are honored and grateful to give another group of men and woman veterans the recognition they deserve. But we can't stop now.
"Thank you for your generosity and an unforgettable trip to Washington. Everything, and I mean everything, was top notch. You are some of the kindest people I have ever met," said Ron, a Vietnam veteran who was on Mission 55. "It was like therapy for me and it's a day I will remember for the rest of my life," he said.
Notes like these are heartfelt and make us so proud to be able to carry out the work we do. Vets tell us they've healed, they feel less isolated, and they finally feel like their service is truly appreciated. Feelings like these are what makes our mission so special. Currently, we have over 600 veterans on our waitlist and, as you can imagine, we are behind due to Covid 19. Will you help us send more of our local veterans on the Honor Flight next year? Your donation, in any amount, will help us continue the good work we started in 2009. We can't do it without you.
Thank you and many blessings to all our donors, volunteers, supporters and most of all, our veterans. The Old Glory Honor Flight Crew wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year. ♥

Veteran Recruitment is in full swing! |
Do you know a veteran that served during WWll, Korea or Vietnam who hasn't gone on an Honor Flight yet? Please help them apply so they can get on our waitlist! If a veteran needs assistance with the application or has questions, contact us and we'll have one of our dedicated volunteers reach out. The process is fast and easy! Most veterans wait approximately 18-24 months before it's their turn, but you can't go unless you apply. |
