Service Area: Flights out of Northeast WI to Washington, D.C. (see description for special Honor flights)

Serving: WWII Veterans, Korea Veterans, Vietnam Veterans, and Desert Storm Veterans

Description: Old Glory Honor Flight was founded in 2009 by a dedicated group of volunteers based in Appleton, WI. Their original mission was to fly local WWll Veterans to Washington DC on a one-day trip to see the memorials built in their honor, including the WWll Memorial.

The Old Glory Honor Flight missions are completely free of charge to the Veteran; we believe it is a meaningful way to say 'Thank You' for their service and sacrifice. Every detail of their day long trip has the vets' best interest in mind to ensure they have a safe, memorable trip and one that conveys appreciation and admiration from our broad community. On each flight, we travel with trained volunteers who act as guardian escorts, a volunteer medical team, professional photographers, and a host of others like the DC Park Police who ensure the veterans get the 'red carpet' treatment.

This organization also includes “special mission honor flights’ for example;

Return to Pearl' took 19 Pearl Harbor Survivors to Hawaii to tour the USS Arizona and sites these veterans were when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the precursor to the US participation in WW ll.

'Operation at Ease' transported Desert Storm era veterans to see their memorials at the High Ground in WI and in Marseilles, IL.

• 'Return to Nam' took 52 Vietnam veterans back to Vietnam to see how the country has flourished and to give the veterans an opportunity to heal and get closure on their service. The 'Return to Nam' book was published as was the movie.

70th Anniversary of D-Day Commemoration at the State Capitol. We transported a busload of D-Day veterans that were honored by state officials and grateful citizens.

• Old Glory Honor Flight hosted special, themed DC based missions like Navy Day, Yellow Ribbon Honor Flight, and multiple Green & Gold Honor Flights in partnership with the Green Bay Packers.
