Honor Flight Long Island, the iconic volunteer-run Veterans organization, is proud to announce that our Spring Flight to Washington, D.C. is scheduled for Saturday, May 4, 2024.
This flight will take 46 veterans to visit their military memorials, meet with service branch representatives, commiserate with fellow veterans and exchange stories.
Honor Flight’s mission is to honor fellow Long Islanders who served in the United States Armed Forces to preserve our freedoms, by providing free, one-day trips so they can visit their D.C. memorials.
In 2005, the first Honor Flight organization was inaugurated by legendary co-founders Earl Morse and Jeff Miller.
Since its humble start, over 130 Honor Flight “hubs” have been organized in various states. All told, these hubs have flown over 250,000 Veterans to visit their military memorials in Washington, D.C.
The late Chris Cosich of Amagansett, started his own Honor Flight Long Island hub in 2007. With this May 4 flight, Honor Flight Long Island (HFLI) has escorted over 2,000 Long Island Veterans to D.C.
