Mission & Goal
Transport America’s veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices.
Helping every single veteran in America, willing and able of getting on a plane or a bus, visit THEIR memorial. The Honor Flight Bay Area hub covers California from the San Francisco Bay Area to the Oregon border.
Priority & Eligibility
Top priority is given to America’s most senior heroes — survivors of World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, or Gulf War 1 and any Veteran with a terminal illness who wish to visit THEIR memorial. With the completion of the Gulf War 1 memorial in the Fall of 2026, the program will transition to Gulf War 1 Veterans who served following the Vietnam Veterans in priority. Unfortunately, those veterans that have previously taken an Honor Flight trip as a Veteran are ineligible for this program in order to make room for those who have not.
All men and women who served stateside or overseas between 1940 and 1991 with a DD214 showing an “Honorable Discharge” from military service are eligible.
Philosophy
Since America felt it was important to build a memorial to the service and the ultimate sacrifice of her veterans, the Honor Flight Network believes it’s equally important that they actually get to visit and experience THEIR memorial.
We need your help to fly a veteran to Washington D.C.
