Buffalo Niagara Honor Flight, a hub of the National Honor Flight Network, recognizes American Veterans for their sacrifices and achievements by flying you to Washington, DC to see YOUR memorial at no cost. Top priority is given to WWII Veterans, Korean War Veterans, Vietnam Veterans and terminally ill Veterans from all wars. Veterans are taken on a first come first serve basis. For what you and your comrades have given to us, please accept this as a small token of appreciation from all of us at Buffalo Niagara Honor Flight.

VETERANS WISHING TO FLY TOGETHER

If you wish to experience this trip with another veteran who served during the same era, please list his/her name and phone number. He/she must submit a completed Veteran and Guardian Application Packet which can be downloaded from our website or we can mail the packet to them. If possible, submit all applications together to help in your request. Buffalo Niagara Honor Flight will do its best, but makes no guarantee that the veteran’s request will be honored.

Buffalo Niagara Honor Flight, a hub of the National Honor Flight Network, would not be successful without the generous support of our Guardians. Guardians play a significant role on every trip, ensuring that every Veteran has a safe and memorable experience. Duties include, but are not limited to, physically assisting the veterans at the airport, during the flight and at the Memorials. Guardians are responsible for their own expenses* (airfare, transportation, meals, etc.) The veteran may request a friend or family member (not including spouses) to accompany them. Guardians must be able-bodied and between the ages of 18 and 70.
