The Honor Flight Network is a  non-profit organization dedicated to transporting as many United States military veterans as possible to see the Washington, D.C. area memorials of the respective war(s) in which they fought at no cost to the veterans.  The current focus is taking veterans of World War II to the National World War II Memorial, and any veteran with a terminal illness to see the memorial of the war in which they fought.

Villages Honor Flight is the local Honor Flight chapter

Its inaugural flight flew on 26-May-2012. 

World War II Veterans are dying at the rate of 1000 per day.  That is not a typo -- 1000 PER DAY.  The WWII Memorial in Washington, DC, opened to the public in 2004.  Most WWII veterans have not seen this memorial honoring their service to all of mankind, and not many have the means or ability to do so ... until now. 

Villages Honor Flight, Inc (VHF) was formed in July, 2011 to support Honor Flight efforts in the Villages  / Lake County / Sumter County / South Marion County area.  This area has a large number of WW2 vets and prior to the VHF, those vets had to rely on other FL chapters -- the probability that they would get to see the WWII Memorial was low.   Click here for more information about Villages Honor Flight

If you are a WW2 Vet in Lake County, Sumter County, Marion County, Citrus County or Hernando County (or anywhere in north central Florida) who has not visited the WWII Memorial, please contact us.
