Honor Flight Austin

Honor Flight Austin July 2011 the Honor Flight Austin joined forces with the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 1919, a 501c19 non-profit organization.

The mission of Honor Flight Austin is to celebrate America's veterans by inviting them to share in a ‘Trip of a Lifetime’ to our nation's memorials in Washington, D.C. Several Austinites asked themselves what they could do to honor and thank our Veterans – especially our WWII Veterans - whose courage and determination to do the job they were sent to do still echoes down the years. These patriotic

individuals joined forces when they saw an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our Veterans.

Major Dockery we salute you as well. 🇺🇸

Major Nicholas Dockery, U.S. Army, received the Medal of Honor today.

Before becoming a Green Beret, Nicholas Dockery was a young Army platoon leader serving alongside Afghan and American forces in Afghanistan.

On October 2, 2012, then-Second Lieutenant Dockery repeatedly crossed open ground under intense enemy fire to rally his troops, reinforce isolated positions, and defend wounded soldiers. During the battle, he used his body to shield a fellow soldier from a gr***de blast and rescued an unconscious soldier who was being dragged away by enemy fighters, providing lifesaving aid while the fight continued around him.

The National Medal of Honor Museum will preserve and share his story so future generations can better understand the leadership, selflessness, and devotion to others that defined his actions that day.
