What is an Honor Flight?

An Honor Flight is a special opportunity for any Veteran that served in the military during time of war or peace time to be honored with a free trip to Washington D.C. to reflect at the memorials built in their honor and the sacrifices they and their comrades gave for our freedoms today.  Honor Flights are funded 100% by donations from individuals and businesses.

Our Mission

First State Honor Flight executes a sacred mission: Veterans First — always.

With reverence and unbreakable commitment, we mobilize to escort America’s Veterans to Washington, D.C., so these heroes can finally stand before the memorials etched with their brothers’ names and the sacrifices they will never forget. We deliver the long-overdue welcome home that fills their eyes with tears and their hearts with pride — the recognition their courage and service so deeply deserve.

We don’t just take Veterans to their memorials — we complete their mission and honor the full weight of their legacy. With dignity, military precision, and profound gratitude, we ensure no warrior stands alone. Every trip is carried on wings of brotherhood, sacrifice, and a nation’s heartfelt thank you.

This is our watch. This is our duty. This is our solemn honor.

  • Step 1 Sign Up

  • Step 2 Your Honor Flight

    When the time comes, you will be called and placed on a future Honor Flight. It will be your special day of celebration and remembrance.

  • Step 3 Spread the Word

    Our Veterans become our spokespersons after their trip. Spread the word and tell your fellow veterans why they MUST sign up for their own Honor Flight.
