The American Veteran is one of our greatest treasures...those men and women who answered our nation's call, especially in our times of greatest need. Our mission is to honor and thank those veterans - especially our WWII veterans and Alaskan Territorial Guard - by bringing them to Washington DC, for a day of honor, AT NO COST TO THEM. Please join us in sending them to experience their memorial built 60 years after they came home. Volunteer or send support, it all makes the difference for a group that gave so much and asked for so little!

We are the Alaska hub of Honor Flight Network. We are part of a national network that is flying WWII veterans to their monument in Washington, D.C. Our desire is to fly as many WWII veterans from Alaska to Washington, D.C. at no cost to them.Top priority is given to WWII and terminally ill veterans from all wars.The program will naturally transition to the Korean War, Vietnam War and all other veterans who served, on a chronological basis.
For more in-depth information and history of Honor Flight, please visit our “The Program ” page or our national website, www.honorflight.org. Trips are simply not possible without public support. Prior to Honor Flight Network, many veterans had given up all hope of ever seeing the World War II Memorial. Now they have hope, but time is not on our side. The time to act is now! We truly believe that the service of our WWII vets and their sacrifices saved the world from oppression and tyranny and this is our very small way of saying, “Thank you.”
