Thank you for reading “A Trip To Remember”!

I was able to locate Mr. Purdy's wing man, John, who we managed to get to Columbia, MO recently! The two World War II Marine Pilots had a chance of a lifetime to see each other again after nearly 70 years!

It is with great honor and respect that we get these American Heroes to their memorials in Washington, D.C. via an Honor Flight.

Each Honor Flight hub operates differently so please visit their website or contact them via e-mail or phone for additional information regarding their process in getting a veteran on their Honor Flight.

Want to donate to an Honor Flight or have a fundraising idea?

Please contact a hub near you and ask how you can help!

Do you know a World War II veteran
that is too sick or frail to go on an Honor Flight?

Honor Everywhere 360 is a Virtual Reality experience for Veterans not able to physically travel to see their memorials in Washington, DC. We are losing our WWII Veterans at a rate of 500 a day nationwide and sadly, most will die before they have the chance to see their memorials. The Honor Everywhere experience is free and available via an app. All you need to view the experience is Google Cardboard and a newer smart phone.

For details on how to share the experience with a Veteran you know, please visit honoreverywhere.com .  Honor Everywhere 360 is a collaboration with Central MO Honor Flight, Jaunt Studios, Google, Ghost Machine VR and Story Up Studios.
