Guardian Application
Our volunteer "Guardians" must also complete an application, and must pay their own way, an expense of $400. Guardians escort the veterans on the aircraft, accompany them throughout the day and make sure our veterans have everything they need for a memorable experience.

GUARDIAN APPLICATION
Guardians are essential to the success of the Honor Flight Program. Without these volunteers we would not be able to carry out the dreams of so many WWII, Korean and Vietnam War veterans, enabling them to see the memorials built in their honor.
​
Guardian orientation is required. A flexible schedule will be created so each guardian can make one of the several sessions. Specific information will be shared when orientation sessions are set.
​
From the moment the veterans are in our hands until we return them to their loved ones at the end of the day, guardians will be asked to treat these heroes as if they are family and ensure that every veteran has a safe, memorable, and rewarding experience.
Guardians are volunteers. Guardians pay $400 each for the privilege of escorting our American heroes.
