Flag City Honor Flight’s First Mission Of 2026 Coming Up
(From Flag City Honor Flight)
Flag City Honor Flight (FCHF) is preparing for its 34th mission on April 14th, taking 82 veterans, primarily from the Vietnam War era to Washington, D.C. to visit memorials built in their honor.
The organization relies on community donations and flight sponsorships to continue the mission. As a 100% volunteer-led organization, every dollar received goes directly toward honoring and thanking Veterans for their service.
Departing from Toledo Express Airport in the morning, Veterans will embark on a one-day trip of a lifetime. The itinerary includes visits to the Iwo Jima Memorial, Pentagon 9/11 Memorial, Navy Memorial, Iwo Jima Memorial, Korean Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, WWII Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetery for the Changing of the Guard. Veterans do not pay to fly.
President Will Miller says the trips wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of the community.
