Honor Flight Connecticut 2025

Honor Flight CT recognizes American veterans for their sacrifices and achievements by flying them to Washington, DC to see THEIR memorials at no cost. Current priority is chronological by conflict (WWII, Korea and Vietnam) with special consideration given to terminally ill veterans from all wars.

Guardians fly with the veterans on every flight providing assistance and helping Veterans have a safe, memorable and rewarding experience. Veterans may request a family member (son, daughter, grandson, etc.) or friend to accompany them. The spouse of the veteran may NOT serve as the guardian. Guardians must be able-bodied between the ages of 18-70 and, ideally, one generation removed. If a family member/friend is not available, one will be provided. All guardians must submit a Guardian Application that is available on our web site or can be requested.
A guardian fee will be assessed and MUST be paid one (1) week before the flight.
