Flights For Freedom

07/05/2026

Yesterday may have been the 4th of July, but our gratitude doesn’t end when the fireworks do. 🎇

As America celebrates 250 years of freedom, we’re reminded how blessed we are to live in this incredible country—and how thankful we are for the men and women who have sacrificed to protect those freedoms.

To everyone who came out to support our BBQ fundraiser this week, thank you!! Your generosity, encouragement, and love for our mission help make it possible for Flights for Freedom to continue bringing our military heroes home to their families for the holidays.

From all of us at Flights for Freedom, thank you for believing in our mission.

God bless each of you, and God bless America. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

Today we celebrate the life of my sweet friend, LCpl Jackson Forringer.
He would have been 23 years old today.

There are some people who leave a mark on your life that never fades—and Jackson was one of those people. He was selfless, full of love, and constantly reminded everyone around him what really matters.

Losing him is something I will never fully understand, but I do know this—his life had purpose, and his impact is still very much alive.

In honor of his 23rd birthday, I’m asking for donations of $23.

Every dollar will go toward helping active-duty military members get flights home to their families through Flights for Freedom—something I know Jackson deeply believes in.

If you can’t donate, sharing this post means just as much.
Let’s celebrate him the best way we know how—by loving others well, just like he did.

Happy 23rd Birthday in heaven, Jackson. We miss you more than words can say. 🤍

✨ HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM FLIGHTS FOR FREEDOM! ✨

As we close out this year, I am honestly blown away. My small idea of a Facebook post has flourished & grown into something that is changing the lives of our military. It’s providing opportunity. It’s creating memories.

This has been our best year yet at Flights for Freedom. I am so happy & unbelievably proud to announce that we were able to approve 20 applicants this year!!!! Yes, 2 0 ! 🥹
That number represents answered prayers, reunions, & moments that truly matter. None of this would be possible without our incredible community, our faithful donors, & our amazing sponsors who continue to believe in this mission.

A special THANK YOU to our 2025 corporate sponsors who went above and beyond this year:
Spotted Moon
Southern Fusion BBQ Barn
13 Bones Restaurant
A Perfect Cut Lawn Care Service LLC

We are so beyond thankful for your generosity, your heart for service, & your continued support of this mission.

Please note: not all of our recipients wish to be featured publicly, and we always respect their privacy. Below are just a few of the recipients whose lives were impacted by your generosity.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in this mission, and helping make home possible. 🎄✈️♥️🇺🇸

I have so many goals, big ideas, & plans for 2026 but for now I’m going to sit back and reflect on just how thankful I am for this organization & the growth it is seeing!
Happy New Year Flights For Freedom Family! 🎆

🎄 Holiday Flight APPROVED! ✈️

We are honored to share that SSG Warren, United States Army, has been approved for flight assistance this Christmas. After spending months deployed away from home, he’ll now be able to return to Texas to be with his children for the holidays—a reunion that means so much to him.

SSG Warren, thank you for your 15 years of service and for the sacrifices you and your family make every day. We are grateful to help bring you home this season.

To our supporters—your generosity continues to make moments like this possible. ❤️
