Honor Flight Experience

with Midwest Honor Flight

The Honor Flight Network is a national nonprofit organization comprised of nearly 130 independent hubs working together to achieve the Honor Flight mission. Locally, the Midwest Honor Flight serves Veterans from Northwest Iowa, the State of South Dakota, Northeast Nebraska, and Southwest Minnesota, bringing them to Washington, D.C. at no cost to the Veteran. Their mission: to transport America’s Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor the service and sacrifices of themselves and to fellow Veterans. They’ve flown 23 flights since inception, flying nearly 2,000, with five more flights planned in 2025 including one from Sioux City, possibly in the spring of 2025. These flights are entirely funded by donations, with no government funding involved.

While initially focused only on America’s World War II Veterans, Honor Flight Network now also includes those who served in the military during the Korean and Vietnam War eras, along with veterans of any service era who are critically ill. Top priority is given to World War II and terminally ill Veterans. In order for Midwest Honor Flight to achieve this goal, Guardians fly with the Veterans on every flight, providing assistance and helping Veterans have a safe, memorable, and rewarding experience.
