About Central Missouri Honor Flight
CENTRAL MISSOURI HONOR FLIGHT WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2024. If you are a veteran and your application was postmarked by September 1, 2024 your application will be reviewed by our medical director – if approved you will be contacted for a future flight.
We are a non-profit 501c (3) organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. The group transports our heroes from throughout Central Missouri to Washington, D.C., to visit and reflect at their memorials at no cost to them. Since our inception in 2009, we have transported thousands of veterans to Washington on 68 flights. Top priority is given to senior veterans – WWII survivors, along with other veterans of Korea and Vietnam who may be terminally ill. We are a totally volunteer organization and are funded by donations from individuals, organizations and businesses who wish to see our aging veterans honored before it is too late.
Of all the wars in recent memory, it was WWII that truly threatened our very existence as a nation and free society. Now, with more than 180 WWII veterans dying each day, time to express our thanks to these brave men and women is running out.
Central Missouri Honor Flight will do whatever it takes to fulfill the dreams of our veterans and help them travel at no cost. Medical and mobility issues are no problem. We travel with doctors, nurses, paramedics and younger veterans who serve as personal guardians to our honored guests. We also travel with a “large fleet” of wheelchairs for those veterans who require wheelchairs or may need one as they tire. We complete the trip in one day so our veterans do not have to spend the night in Washington.
While we continue to give priority to WWII veterans, we are now moving into the ranks of our Korean War and Vietnam veterans.
