Flights honoring veterans resume after pandemic pause

https://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/flights-honoring-veterans-resume-after-pandemic-pause-118991429594

In a moment almost 16 months in the making, 112 veterans boarded a chartered flight and spent the day in Washington, D.C.

08/18/2021

ARLINGTON, Va. (August 18, 2021) – The Honor Flight Network resumed travel to Washington, DC today as 112 veterans traveled with Honor Flight’s Chicago hub to see the national memorials built in their honor. The group was comprised of veterans of World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam War. The Honor Flight Network’s iconic trips—which are provided at no cost to the veterans—have been on hold since March 2020 as a COVID-19 precaution. Now that trips have resumed, the Honor Flight Network expects to soon reach the historic milestone of serving 250,000 veterans.

Honor Flight Chicago held a special ceremony at the World War II Memorial to honor its veterans. The ceremony included a Joint Service Color Guard, military vocalist singing the National Anthem, and a bugler playing Taps in remembrance of all those lost. For the veterans, the trip provided a rare occasion to bond with those who shared in their military service and an opportunity to reflect on their time in uniform.

“Honor Flight trips have long been called, ‘the experience of a lifetime’ for veterans, but today’s long-awaited return has made the emotions of experiencing these memorials indescribable,” said David Smith, President and Chair, Honor Flight Network Board of Directors. “The last 16 months have been tough for our organization and the veterans we serve, but to resume our travel at a time when we could best ensure everyone’s safety has made this moment worth the wait.”

The Honor Flight Network (HFN) requires all their hubs to follow strict health precautions before resuming travel. At this time, all 2021 participants must be fully vaccinated or receive a negative PCR test within 72 hours of a trip’s departure. HFN is also following health recommendations from the CDC, the District of Columbia, and each hub’s state and local jurisdiction, and the masking guidance of all trip venues.
