Honor Flight Chicago

We are non-profit dedicated to honoring WWII, Korean War & Vietnam War veterans by flying them, all-expense-paid, to DC for a day of honor, thanks & inspiration

Yesterday, members of the Leesburg Police Department Cadet Program and MPO Drogin had the incredible privilege of participating in an @Honor_Flight_CH welcome at Washington Dulles International Airport, greeting our nation's heroes as they arrived to visit the memorials built in their honor.

Opportunities like this remind us of the importance of honoring those who have served our country and preserving their legacy for future generations.

To all of our veterans: Thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering dedication to our nation.

Honor Flight Chicago launched a #GoldStar family program last year to honor our country's fallen and their loved ones aboard each of our flights.

This #MemorialDay, we remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, and those who grieve their loss to this day.

This past Wednesday, members of the Leesburg Police Department had the honor of assisting with @Honor_Flight_CH as veterans traveled to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials dedicated to their service and sacrifice.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to a community member for capturing this incredible moment.

On May 4, WWII Veteran John Mochel turned 100, and he has been celebrating with more than 100 cards from our volunteers. He called to tell us that he loves all the cards, THANK YOU to all the people who sent them.

From our family, Thank You for your Service, John, and Happy 100!
