We are a non-profit organization that relies fully on private, public and corporate donations in order to make these trips happen for our WWII Veterans.
Our next flight is scheduled for Tuesday, June
5. Orientation for this flight will take place Thursday, May 24. If
you know any WWII Veterans who have not yet applied please submit a
Veteran Application or contact us immediately!! We desperately need to
get more Veterans signed up for future flights.
We hope to have a third flight in September 2012. Your help is needed to make this flight a reality for our Veterans.
Our first flight of the year -- Tuesday, April 24 from The Eastern Iowa Airport -- was a tremendous success. Thank you to all Veterans, Guardians and Volunteers who helped make this such a great day for us all!! To date, we have taken 541 Iowa WWII Veterans to Washington D.C.!!
2011 was a banner year for us!!! This year, 269 Iowa WWII Veterans embarked on the trip of a lifetime to Washington, D.C. These Veterans were joined by 227 Guardians who help make the trip even more memorable for our beloved Veterans.
We truly appreciate everyone's time, effort and support in our cause. Thank you for giving that 110 percent in everything you do.
A very special thank you to our countless donors - without you, this dream would not be possible.
Why? On Monday, December 8, 1941, President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt appeared before Congress
giving what is now referred to as the Infamy Speech.
Yesterday, December 7, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy
— the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately
attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
Shortly thereafter, Congress declared war against Japan. More
than 226,000 Iowans answered that call serving as sailors, soldiers,
Marines and airmen in the largest war the world had ever seen.
Sadly, there are fewer and fewer of these men and women
alive today and few have had the opportunity to see the National WWII
Memorial dedicated to them on April 29, 2004 (59 years after the war's
end).
Eastern Iowa Honor Flight is dedicated to making that
happen and you can help us give these heroes the appreciation they so
gratefully deserve.
