The Collier-Lee
Honor Flight Mission

Our Veterans at The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

Our mission is to transport local Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifice.

We were established on September 25th, 2013 to bring this program to the Collier and Lee County areas in Southwest Florida. Six short weeks after forming, a very successful inaugural flight (Mission 1) took place on November 9th, 2013. To date we have transported nearly 1200 WWII, Korean and Vietnam veterans on this deeply emotional and well deserved trip.

Support for these trips is provided by volunteers and is at no cost to the veterans. Top priority is given to our most senior heroes.
