Baton Rouge, LA. (July 15, 2022) –Honor Flight Louisiana is happy to announce that planning for the flight this October is well underway. After cancellation of our originally scheduled return flight on April 30, our team is anxious to resume our mission of flying “Louisiana’s Best” to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorials.
The October flight will mark just over three years since Honor Flight Louisiana has hit the skies. Having completed our last flight in early October of 2019, COVID-19 and related issues have caused a hold on flights and, most recently, a cancellation. We are eager to once again honor Louisiana’s World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans.
While our team has solidified a flight out of New Orleans and secured a spot at Arlington National Cemetery, there is much more to be done to make the trip successful. More information will be made available to the public in the coming weeks through an official press release. We will also be reaching out soon to all of our potential participants (Veterans and Guardians) so they may begin preparing for the flight.
Until then, please feel free to reach out to us at info@honorflightlouisiana.org with any questions or concerns you may have!
