On August 3rd, we will start the process of selecting our next oldest Veterans from our database for the EVV17 Honor Flight on October 5, 2024. This upcoming flight we celebrate our 10 years of service as the Honor Flight Southern IN hub. So far we have provided these FREE honor flights to 1221 local Veterans. And we have many more very deserving Veterans waiting to go. We need your help in getting the word out into the counties we serve. Listed below is what we hope you will publish:
1.) If you are a Veteran or know a Veteran who is 80+ years old, who hasn’t taken his/her Honor Flight and wants to go… We need Veteran Applications to be submitted before July 31st to be considered for the October 5th flight. Applications can be completed online through our website at www.honorflightsi.org. or call our hotline number, leave your name and phone number and we will call you back. Phone Number is 812-297-4136. But any Veteran who served this country and has an Honorable discharge can sign up through our website. We select the oldest veterans first with the exception of a Veteran who is medical priority.
2.) We need the Tri-State communities to help support our Honor Flight mission. Attached is our Wish List flyer and Mail Call flyer. Wish List items are items we need to help complete the mission and many of these items go into a cinch bag that each Veteran receives before the flight. Mail Call is a crucial part of their Honor Flight experience. This is an opportunity to say “Thank You” to those who have served this great country to defend our freedoms. Details are on the Mail Call flyer.
3.) Follow the Honor Flight Southern IN facebook page to keep informed about upcoming flights and other activities.
4.) Save the Date: Plan to attend the October 5th Heroes Welcome Home Parade at Evansville Regional Airport. This is a free and public event. Many of our senior Veterans never received their Heroes Welcome Home and we get to change this! Details on the Welcome Home Flyer.
Thank you for your support and getting the word out there. If you have any questions please let me know.
