Honor Flight

Thank you to our speaker today - Tracey Price, Guardian for Blue Ridge Honor Flight! 

It was an honor to write messages of gratitude to our veterans and hear about the honor flight that they will soon experience!!

Honor Flight Network is a national nonprofit organization that was created with a simple, yet powerful, mission – honoring our nation’s veterans by bringing them to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials built to commemorate their service and sacrifice.  The Honor Flight Network was co-founded by Jeff Miller and Earl Morse. 

While initially focused only on America’s World War II veterans, Honor Flight Network now also includes those who served in the military during the Korean and Vietnam War eras, along with veterans of any service era who are critically ill.

Transporting approximately 22,500 veterans annually, Honor Flight Network has flown over 300,000 veterans to Washington, D.C. since its inception.  The Blue Ridge Honor Flight board and volunteers plan 2-3 flights from the Asheville airport each year.
