In furtherance of this common goal, we have the enormous privilege of showing our nation’s veterans the appreciation and honor they deserve. Honored veterans always travel free of charge. Honor Flight Network currently honors those who served during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and veterans of any service era who are critically ill. Puget Sound Honor Flight is a 501©(3), all-volunteer chapter of the Honor Flight Network.

Honor Flights rely on grants and generous donations from individuals, organizations, and corporations to fund the flights for honored Veterans. No federal funds are allocated to this program.

Refreshments will be served after the hour presentation at the NW Veterans Resource Center located at 216 S. Francis Street in Port Angeles.
