So Many to Thank!
The Honor Flight Arizona Board of Directors wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to ALL who have made this year so successful in helping us continue to fulfill our mission to honor and thank our Veterans for their service! This program would not be possible without your generous donations of time, talents, resources, and financial gifts. This fall season, we flew more than 240 Veterans to see their memorials.
We are grateful:
- to our Volunteers for the many roles they play in making each flight, reunion luncheon, and administrative logistics happen;
- to the Guardians for keeping our Veterans safe and comfortable during their journey;
- to the airport greeters, the TSA, and Southwest Airlines staff who make each send-off and return special;
- to Youth for Troops, the Patriot Guard riders, and others who provide the flag line for each welcome home ceremony;
- to the Arizona Society Daughters of the American Revolution chapters who provide refreshments and assistance to trip participants before the flights;
- to the Old Breed Detachment 767 and many JROTC color guards who lead the processions to and from the gate;
- to Phoenix Electricians Today and the individuals who make and bring the lunches for the flights;
- to the Arizona Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America for loaning us the wheelchairs;
- to Col. Harry L. Cooper VFW Post 160 in Maryland for the dinners at the end of a long day of touring;
- to Elks Lodge #335 for providing the building and reunion luncheons;
- and to the donors of monetary gifts both small and large that help us pay homage to our Veterans.
You are the heart and soul of the Honor Flight Arizona program, and we appreciate you more than you know!
My honor flight on 09/22/25 was a dream come true, the whole trip from start to finish was fantastic. Visiting the war memorials was something I’ll never forget, thank you Arizona Honor Flight for making a dream a reality
I was overwhelmed with the honor flight organization and professionalism on my October 22-24 trip! It was a once in a lifetime experience that every veteran should experience! The support of all who contribute to this program is greatly appreciated.
It was the “ welcome home “ that our vets should have received so many years ago! Thanks for a truly heartfelt experience!
Was able to attend one of these remarkable flights a number of years ago as a Guardian. I absolutely had no prior connection to this incredible organization. It was a privilege to be a part of this 3 day event.
I have been told that I am down for the Freedom Flight in the spring of 2026!!! Really looking forward to the trip!!
At 81 I am thankful for good health!
I was honored and blessed to make this trip. Thank you Honor Flight for making this trips memorable
Blessings,
