Honor Flight Houston is a non-profit organization, and a proud member of the Honor Flight Network, created solely to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices. Serving Harris, Montgomery, Liberty, Chambers, Galveston, Brazoria, Fort Bend and Waller counties, Honor Flight Houston transports our heroes from Houston, Texas to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. The fligh
ts and tours that Honor Flight Houston provides World War II veterans are absolutely FREE. Honor Flight Houston is our way of paying a tribute to those who gave so much—a memorable and rewarding TOUR of HONOR! Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nation—and as a culturally diverse, free society. Now, with more than 1,000 World War II veterans dying each day, our time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out. Mission Statement:
Transport America's veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices. Goal:
Helping every single veteran in America, willing and able of getting on a plane or a bus, visit THEIR memorial. Priority:
Top priority is given to America's most senior heroes — survivors of World War II and any veteran with a terminal illness who wishes to visit THEIR memorial. The program will naturally transition to Korean War, Vietnam War and all other veterans who served, on a chronological basis. Eligibility:
All men and women serving stateside or overseas. Philosophy:
Since America felt it was important to build a memorial to the service and the ultimate sacrifice of her veterans, the Honor Flight Network believes it's equally important that they actually get to visit and experience THEIR memorial. Motto:
We can’t all be heroes. Some of us have to stand on the curb and clap as they go by.” - Will Rogers
