Flights For Freedom

10/01/2026

🇺🇸✈️ APPLICATIONS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN! ✈️🇺🇸

Today marks the beginning of Flights For Freedom’s 2026 holiday season, and we could not be more excited!

Every year, our mission is simple: help active-duty military members make it home to the people they love for the moments that matter most.

For many of our service members, the cost of a flight can be the one thing standing between them and a seat at the family table this holiday season. That’s why Flights For Freedom exists.

Over the past few years, we have watched this organization grow from a small idea into something bigger than we ever imagined—and every flight home reminds us exactly why we keep going.

We cannot wait to see how many service members we are able to help this year. Here’s to another incredible season of bringing our military home. 🇺🇸🏠✈️🦃🎄

2026 applications are NOW OPEN!

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with the active-duty service members in your life.

Active-duty service members and their families can apply for holiday flight assistance directly on our site.

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. 🤍
