On October 23rd, Honor Flight Savannah will be taking WWII, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans on an all expense paid trip to Washington, DC so that they can visit the war memorials that have been dedicated to their military service. The bus will leave from the air terminal at Hunter Army Airfield in Savannah. The public is invited to arrive at 8 a.m. and give our Veterans a great send- off to begin their trip. Please bring a photo ID to get in the Hunter gate.

The mission of Honor Flight Savannah is to provide these trips to Veterans so they have a chance to visit the memorials that were erected in their honor.  For many, this is a very special and meaningful event for these dedicated men and women. Honor Flight depends entirely on donations from the community to fund these trips. If you would like to go on one of these trips, visit www.honorflightsavannah.org  or call 912-366-9020.
