What We Do

Honor Flight Louisiana organizes and conducts all-expense-paid flights for eligible veterans to our nation’s capital. In a single, powerful day, veterans visit memorials that reflect their service, bravery, and the cost of freedom—including the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and other significant sites.

Each mission is carefully planned and fully supported by trained volunteers and guardians who assist veterans every step of the way—from departure to their emotional welcome home. Medical support, logistics, transportation, and coordination are handled with precision to ensure a safe, meaningful, and unforgettable experience.

Why We Do It

Many of our veterans returned home quietly, without parades or recognition. Some never had the opportunity—or the means—to see the memorials built in their honor. Others carry memories and burdens from their service that have never fully been acknowledged.

We believe gratitude should be shown through action, not words alone.

Honor Flight Louisiana exists to say thank you in the most powerful way possible—by giving veterans the chance to reflect, remember, heal, and be honored alongside their fellow servicemembers. These journeys create moments of closure, pride, and connection that last a lifetime—for the veterans, their families, and our volunteers.

Who We Serve

Honor Flight Louisiana proudly serves America’s veterans from World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War who call Louisiana and Mississippi home. Priority is given to World War II and terminally ill veterans from all eras, ensuring those with the most urgent need are honored first.

As resources allow, we continue expanding our reach so no veteran is forgotten.

Powered by Community

Honor Flight Louisiana is a 100% volunteer-driven nonprofit organization. Every mission is made possible through generous donations, sponsorships, and the dedication of volunteers who believe deeply in honoring those who served.

Not one veteran ever pays for their flight.

Community support ensures that each mission is executed with excellence, compassion, and professionalism—reflecting the caliber of service our veterans gave to our country.
