Guardian, Veteran and Volunteer Applications
A Guardian assists one or more Veterans (presently just one) from the time people assemble early in the day, through the entire day’s events and Homecoming at end of the day.
Any U.S. Veteran who served at least one day of active duty is eligible for an Honor Flight at no cost. Priority will be given to older era Veterans and application date. If you want to go on an Honor Flight Mission, download or complete the appropriate online application along with the medical form and do-not-sue form.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of Villages Honor Flight! As a 501 (c )(3) non-profit organization, there are a lot of “Opportunities” where you can help.
“FLAGS OF OUR HEROES”
We honor those Veterans and their families with a special program and ceremony at the memorials referred to as “Flags of Our Heroes.”
It is our desire to show the respect so richly deserved to the deceased WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War Veterans who never had the opportunity to visit their memorials and to the families of those Veterans.
For those who would like to participate in this endeavor, fill out the
online Flags of our Heroes Application form
If you do not live in Central Florida, you can fly with us, but there might be better options.
Villages Honor Flight (VHF) will accept vets from anywhere. Our region of focus is Central Florida (in particular the counties of Lake, Sumter, Marion, Citrus and Hernando) but we accept vets from any location.
Like virtually every other hub, VHF flies out of a local airport, Sanford in our case. We also have several events before the actual flights and a post-flight reunion. Thus the transportation logistics for vets outside Central Florida could get difficult. We recommend that vets from outside the Central Florida area check with the hub that is closest to them about getting on their list first. View the directory of all Honor Flight hubs.
Volunteers (other than Guardians) provide a wide range of services. For specific volunteer opportunities, call 352-432-1382.
