Time is of the Essence.

Based on recent 2008 statistics, we are losing World War II veterans at the rate of approximately 1,000 per day. Honor Flight Network will continue do whatever it takes to fulfill the dreams of our veterans and help our senior heroes travel absolutely free.

Subsequent to the World War II veterans, our efforts will then focus on our Korean War and then Vietnam War veterans, honoring them similarly.

Honor Flight New England joined with the national organization Honor Flight Network in the Spring of 2009 and is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's veterans for all of their sacrifices. Through generous donations we transport our heroes to Washington, D.C., to visit and reflect at their memorials AT NO COST TO THE VETERAN. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.

Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was World War II that truly threatened our very existence as a nation - and as a culturally diverse, free society. Now, with over one thousand World War II veterans dying each day, our time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out.

Honoring All Our Veterans.

Our first flight was on June 13, 2009. It was a humbling experince to be with these WWII Veterans on our maiden voyage to D.C. Of those 50 Veterans and Guardians traveling with us on board were 14 World War II Prisoners of War and 5 World War II Heroes, including one hero that lost his sight while serving his country.

Honor Flight New England will also pay tribute to America's other heroes who served during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, followed by veterans of more current wars. They, too, have given so much and it's time we show them that their efforts are not forgotten.

Honor Flight Network has learned a lot over these last four years and one point that stands out is that our veteran heroes aren't asking for recognition. It is our position that they deserve it. Our program is just a small token of our appreciation for those that gave so much.

Please help us continue to make their dream of visiting THEIR memorial, a reality.
HONOR FLIGHT NEW ENGLAND — our way of saying to all our veterans — one more TOUR with HONOR.

Honor Flight New England would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to W. Garth Smith and MetaVR for sponsoring  our May 22, 2011 Honor Flight to Washington DC. It is because of their generosity, 65 World War II Veterans were able to visit the World War II Memorial to spend a day that many describe as one of the best days of their lives. Please visit their link to get a glimpse of the trip. They would also like to challenge other businesses to donate for a cause that  provides such a unique opportunity to those that have done so much and ask for so little.

Thank you to W. Garth Smith and METAVR for what you have done for our World War II Heroes.

Forever Grateful,

Joe Byron
