Veterans who served any time between 1942 and May 7, 1975 – regardless of their duty assignment or where they were assigned for duty – are eligible to participate on an Honor Flight.

These veterans are all heroes and deserve the experience of a day of gratitude as we visit the memorials in Washington, D.C. dedicated to their service. This one-day flight from Springfield, Ill. is provided free to the veteran.

Veteran and Guardian Applications are available from the Land of Lincoln Honor Flight website at www.landoflincolnhonorflight.org or by contacting us via email at jmb4604@aol.com.
