The Never Forgotten Honor Flight is a Not For Profit Organization of dedicated Volunteers providing Veterans with closure, gratitude & respect, by flying them to Washington D.C. to visit their memorials.  Priority is given to senior veterans – World War II era, followed by Korea era & lastly Vietnam era. Each era will fly on a first come first served by the date of their application.  This trip is absolutely free for the veterans!

We launch four flights each year in April, May, Sept & Oct (when weather is the nicest) to Washington D.C.. We are currently flying WWII, Korean & Vietnam eras’ veterans.

Wisconsin Honor Flight Hubs flew more veterans than any other state in 2018!!

We are an affiliate of the Honor Flight Network, a group which began operations in 2005.
