Old Glory Honor Flight, Inc

Old Glory Honor Flight is dedicated to transporting our local WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials built in their honor.

Our mission is to offer our local World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans a memorable, safe and rewarding tour of honor to our nation's capital. It's a whirlwind tour. This trip happens all in one day and is completely free of charge to the vet! It's our small way to say 'thank you' for their service and sacrifices to this great country. We are also dedicated to making this trip as safe as possible. Trained volunteer 'guardians' are assigned to accompany our veterans. For added safety, we travel with volunteer medical professionals.

A note from one of our "red shirts" (an OGHF guardian)... "I had history classes in grade school and high school. I did the work, passed the test, and promptly forgot all I had learned. Wednesday, however, I got a history lesson that I will not soon forget! I was both honored and blessed to be part of something so truly amazing! Thank you for allowing me to be part of this!" "I have to say my absolute favorite part of this trip was the welcome home! After the whirlwind trip through DC in 90+ weather these tired men and women transformed before my eyes…. I saw brave American Heroes! Standing straight, tall, and proud as they walked the airport corridors filled to the brim with love and support of family, friends, other vets, active military, and other fellow Americans thanking them and letting them know that the sacrifices that they made did not go unnoticed and truly is appreciated! Without these men and women, we would not have the freedom we cherish so much today. God bless our Vets, and God bless America! Freedom is not free…. Thank you Old Glory staff, medical support, our special bus drivers and our police escort in DC! What a remarkable job you have done creating a special day for all these vets!" ~Barb We couldn't do it with you Barb and all the other "red shirts" out there! ♥ Thank you!

Stephen is a vet that flew with us a number of years ago and he has worn his shirt, jacket and hat so much that they are worn out. Today he picked up new gear and said “I hope Old Glory knows what a difference they are making. My flight changed my life and I didn’t realize what I was all dealing with until I confronted it.” That is the type of impact our community is making with their support. Thank you to each and every person and organization that shows up to support Old Glory Honor Flight with their time, talents, and donations. Vets like Stephen wouldn’t find the peace they do without you.

Old Glory Honor Flight is proud to announce Return to Korea. This trip will be similar to our Return to Vietnam trip earlier this year but will focus on another very deserving group -- our local Korean war veterans. This no-cost trip will be planned for May, 2020 (specific dates to be determined). A separate application will go live on our website in the coming days for those vets interested in participating. Up to fifty veterans will be selected at random from this list of applicants. Who is eligible? For this mission, any active duty military serviceman or woman, living in Northeast Wisconsin who served in Korea between the dates of June 27, 1950 – October 15, 1954 is eligible to participate. US Navy vets serving in the waters off the Korean peninsula during that time frame are also eligible. Why Return to Korea? "Our recent Return to Nam trip has shown us the healing power of having vets return to their former battlegrounds," said Renee Schroeder, board member of Old Glory Honor Flight. "With the participation of the South Korean government, the opportunity to do this is just too important to miss." To ensure safety, the veterans chosen to participate in Return to Korea veterans will be encouraged to bring along a “guardian” that is at least one generation younger then themselves who is physically capable to act as a companion and caretaker for the veteran. The trip is free for the Korean war veterans, but their guardians will be required to pay $500 to offset trip expenses. Old Glory Honor Flight, a volunteer-driven organization, will continue to operate its regular schedule of flights to Washington D.C., and participation in the Washington flight will not affect eligibility for Return to Korea. Old Glory Honor Flight will partner with the well-established and veteran-run Military Historical Tours and the Republic of Korea government for this special event, and funding for Return to Korea will be separate from our other funding efforts. Old Glory Honor Flight is a registered 501(c)3 organization. Corporate and individual donations are encouraged. Please visit www.oldgloryhonorflight.org for more information, and thank you for your support. Media Inquiries please contact us at 1-888-635-9838
