Honor Flight Louisiana | Honoring Our Veterans

The Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America's veterans for their sacrifices. We transport our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans - World War II survivors, along with those other veterans who may be terminally ill.

Honor Flight Louisiana is a 100% volunteer effort.  All of us, our Board, our Committees, the whole platoon are all volunteers.  None are paid.  All of the money we raise goes directly toward flying veterans to Washington D.C.

On May 12, 2007, the first flight of WWII veterans from Louisiana took off from Lafayette Regional Airport. Louisiana was proud to have been a part of the initial "Honor Air" effort. This effort in Louisiana was sponsored by KATD, a local radio station in Lafayette, Louisiana. "Louisiana Honor Air" flew its final mission Saturday, May 28, 2011 with 79 WWII Heroes on-board.  That was the 22nd Louisiana Honor Air flight.

In early January 2017, a group of MBA students at Louisiana State University got together to discuss an idea for serving and giving back. This group of students varied in age, hometown, and occupation, but all had one thing in common - a desire to serve our veterans. Together, they picked up where Louisiana Honor Air had left off and formed "Honor Flight Louisiana", Louisiana's first official hub in the larger Honor Flight Network.

While still in its youth, Honor Flight Louisiana's goal is to put the oath many of us have sworn to action, and honor those men and women with an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While our mission of bringing these WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans to Washington D.C. remains constant, the gratitude in our hearts will be ever growing.

Please, join us in honoring our veterans.
