HUDSON VALLEY HONOR FLIGHT NETWORK
A special tour for our heroes to see THEIR memorials with HONOR!
Veteran Application:
Honor Flight Network recognizes American veterans for your sacrifices and achievements
by flying you to Washington, D.C. to see YOUR memorial at no cost. Top priority
(for which we are currently accepting applications) is given to World War II and
terminally ill veterans from all wars.
In the future, Honor Flight Network will be expanded to include Korean War and Vietnam War veterans. In order for Honor Flight Network
to achieve this goal, guardians fly with the veterans on every flight providing assistance and helping veterans have a safe, memorable
and rewarding experience.
For what you and your comrades have given to us, please consider this a small token of appreciation from all of us at Honor Flight
Network.
Where would this country, or the world for that matter, be without the dedication and services of those young men and women we call
American veterans? Throughout history, our nation has turned to our military to protect others so that we may enjoy the freedoms that
we cherish today. These brave men and women were not making decisions about the right or wrong of war; they were following orders
and doing what they were told. We owe so much to these veterans whose sacrifices cannot be captured in a few words, who paid the
ultimate sacrifice for their country, who carry scars that remain for the rest of their lives.
It is truly Honor Flight Network's privilege to fly our heroes to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at the memorials built in their honor.
Our highest priority is to the aging World War II veterans along with any veteran facing terminal illness. Other veterans such as the
Korean War and Vietnam War Veterans are included in our program and will be addressed in the near future. (Some hubs are already
accepting applications for Korean and Vietnam War Veterans.)
If you know of someone who is a World War II veteran or a veteran with a terminal illness, please fill out an application and send it in.
Our goal for 2012 is to fly at least 25,000 veterans. And remember, every veteran flies free. We will not accept a donation from a World
War II veteran who have not benefited from an Honor Flight trip.

GUARDIAN APPLICATION:
Guardians are essential to the success of the Honor Flight Network Program. Without these
volunteers we would not be able to carry out the dreams of so many veterans, enabling them
to see the memorials built in their honor.
Typically during our trips, we divide the veterans into groups of eight and assign three guardians
to each group. Even before the veterans arrive at the airport, the guardian's responsibilities begin
with flight preparation and going over their packets of material. Once the veterans start to arrive,
guardians will ensure boarding passes and IDs are available, distribute Honor Flight Network tee
shirts, get the veterans through security and to the gate, assist in boarding, etc.
From the moment the veterans are in our hands until we return them to their loved ones in the evening, guardians will be asked to treat
these heroes as if they are family and ensure that every veteran has a safe, memorable, and rewarding experience. Guardians are
volunteers and are expected to pay for their trip. Prices will vary depending on the departure city and airline fares.
Because they play such a significant role in our program, we will provide training sessions for all guardians prior to participating in one of
our trips.
If you would like more information about becoming a Guardian, please contact our Guardian Representative at 845-728-9659 or via
email at honoringtroops@aol.com
