Honor Flight of Southern Colorado
MISSION 17 COMPLETE!
Honor Flight of Southern Colorado Mission #17 is COMPLETE!
On behalf of the Honor Flight of Southern Colorado board, we would like to thank our 88 FANTASTIC veterans, Guardians, and volunteers who made Mission 17 the most successful Honor Flight in our history!
As an organization we have SO MUCH to be thankful for in 2023.
Please review the photos and the link to the KOAA News 5 documentary on our trip. If you have not spent the time to view it, the documentary tells a very powerful story on the goodness and the healing aspect of an Honor Flight.
If you are an era-eligible veteran who is wavering on whether to attend an upcoming Honor Flight, please watch the video. See the power of the messages and hear the emotions of our Mission 17 attendees…then consider joining us soon.
2024 is going to be our best year EVER!
For the veterans and Guardians who have previously registered, your applications will remain active, and we will contact you individually on your status and your eligibility to be a part of our planned flights in 2024.
SPECIAL THANKS AGAIN to our amazing sponsors for this flight, The Retired Enlisted Association, Chapter 1, and Pikes Peak Hospice Foundation. Without their valued support, we could not afford to do this mission. We also want to thank Honor Flight National Hub for their support.
