OUR VETERANS
The Honor Flight Network recognizes American veterans for their sacrifices and achievements by flying them to Washington, D.C., to view all military branch memorials, at no cost to the individual veteran. Puget Sound Honor Flight aims to serve all veterans who are willing and able to make this trip. We need the support of communities, and businesses in those communities, to continue to provide this opportunity. To date, over 100,000 WWII veterans have made this cathartic journey with the Honor Flight Network.
One thousand a day. This is the number of WWII veterans we lose on a daily basis. This is why we need your help - now. Sponsor a Veteran, volunteer your time, or make a tax-deductible donation today! You’ll be glad you did.

ABOUTPuget Sound Honor Flight
Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organizationcreated solely to honor America’s veterans for alltheir sacrifices. Western Washington’s hub, PugetSound Honor Flight, was established in Marchof 2013 with one goal: to recognize the localveteran population living in Western Washington.
OUR MISSION: To transport our heroes on“One Last Mission” - a trip to Washington, D.C.to visit and reflect at the memorials built in theirhonor. This trip is free to the veteran, and madepossible solely through individual donations andcorporate support – NO Federal funds are allocated to this program. With the hard work and dedication of Honor Flight hubs throughout the U.S., and their communities, over 100,000 veterans have made this cathartic journey.
Since America felt it was important to build a memorial to honor the service and the ultimate sacrifice of her veterans, the Puget Sound Honor Flight believes it is equally important that they actually get to visit and experience their memorial.
MAKE A DIFFERENCESend a veteran to Washington, D.C.
The time to act is now.As we lose World War II veterans at a rate of approximately 1,000 per day, time is of the essence. Top priority is given to America’s most senior heroes - survivors of World War II and any veteran with a terminal illness. The program will naturally transition to Korean War, Vietnam War and all other veterans who served, on a chronological basis.
