WWII memorial in DC

Honor Flight Tri-State is a Cincinnati,OH based non profit organization created to honor America's veterans for all their sacrifices. We fly our heroes to Washington, DC to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top priority is given to the senior veterans – WW II survivors along with those other veterans that may be terminally ill.

The first Honor Flight flew in May 2005 with six small planes flying 12 WW II veterans, departing out of Springfield, Ohio. In 2006, with a waiting list of veterans expanding rapidly, we transitioned to commercial airline carriers to accommodate the maximum number of veterans as possible. Based on recent statistics, we are losing WW II veterans at the rate of 1200 per day. Honor Flight will continue do whatever it takes to fulfill the dreams of our veterans and, very importantly, our senior heroes travel absolutely free.

Partnering with HonorAir in Hendersonville, North Carolina and Hero Flight in Provo, Utah, we formed the "Honor Flight Network." Honor Flight Tri-State is the newest member of the Honor Flight Network serving our Veterans in the greater Cincinnati area. Together, we are aggressively expanding our programs to other cities across the nation in 2007.

Subsequent to the WW II veterans, our efforts will then focus on our Korean and then Vietnam veterans, honoring them similarly. Please take time to tour our site and email or call us with any questions you may have.
