Honor Flight Mission Statement
We transport America’s Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor the service and sacrifices of themselves and their friends.
Honor Flight Network was created solely to honor America’s veterans for their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials at no cost to them. Top priority is given to our senior veterans - World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill. After serving these veterans, our efforts then focus on honoring Korean and Vietnam Veterans.

About Honor Flight Central Florida
Honor Flight Network was created solely to honor America’s veterans for their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials at no cost to the veteran. Guardian donors accompany veterans on this one-day trip at their own expense. Their fee covers the cost of the Honor Flight related expenses and provides them the privilege of accompanying one of our hometown heroes for the day on the national mall.
Since 2005 the Honor Flight Network has flown over 295,000 veterans and currently operates from 44 states and 124 regional hubs. Honor Flight Central Florida is a registered HUB of the national Honor Flight Network. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit, all-volunteer organization. We have been operating since 2012 and have flown over 1000 Central Florida veterans. We serve Central Florida Veterans who reside in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Polk and Lake counties and fly out of the Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Orlando-Sanford International Airport (SFB).
A donation in any amount gets us off the ground and helps us
continue honoring our local WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam Veterans.
Honor Flight Central Florida is a 100% volunteer organization.
YOUR DONATION GOES DIRECTLY TO OUR VETERANS.
Tours are simply not possible without public support.

I’m just writing to thank all of the honor flight staff at Honor Flight Central Florida. Our mission was completed in extra ordinary fashion. You all did an amazing job and I thank you. I was privileged to have my daughter as my Guardian. You treated us both to an amazing experience. I’m sure that all the veterans were very impressed with the way you handled the entire mission. It was also a privilege to have a WWII Veteran with us. THANKS AGAIN.

...I was able to spend the equivalent of two days with my son. The bonding I experienced with him is priceless. While we have always had a great relationship with him (and my daughter), the time we spent together took that relationship to a new level. He got to see me in a different light, and he better understands the reasons I feel the way I do about this country, its government, and what is going on today in our country. He got to see me through the eyes of other veterans who shared varying experiences in three different eras, and he go to see how much we all had in common. He got to see me as so much more than as a father....he saw me as a SOLDIER.

I have just returned from an Honor flight on April 28. My heartfelt thanks to all the Guardians and Volunteers who made this one of the happiest days of my life. I have never seen such an operation run so smoothly in my life. I am so proud and thankful to have been a part of this program. God Bless you all so much.

HUNDREDS of people turned out at 10:00 at night to welcome them home. When I walked through that sea of red white and blue pushing her I finally let it all go. It was too much. The whole day came crashing in on me, a 5 year old and a 10 year old little girl thanking a 93 year old Navy Wave. What a span of time. What changes l learned Lillian has witnessed in her life. What an honor to show her how grateful our nation is for her service. What a visual etched in my memory. If you ever get the chance to do this or know someone that needs to be honored like this then please, please, please, please do it!
