Honor Flight Bluegrass Our hope is to create the greatest memory of a lifetime for each Veteran. Priorities are given in the order of World War II, Korean, and Vietnam War Veterans.

Honor Flight Bluegrass, based in Louisville, Kentucky, and is recognized as a 501(C)(3), all-volunteer, non-profit organization created to honor America’s WWII, Korean, and Vietnam veterans for all their sacrifices. We fly WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam War Veterans to Washington, DC and provide them with a first-class VIP tour to each of their respective memorials to honor their service and sacrifices. In addition, Veterans from these said wars with a diagnosed terminal illness, will be given top priority. (In reference to Vietnam Veterans, please note, that we do have a waiting list that we are diligently working on so that we can get them on a mission.)

Thank YOU Shay for your tremendous efforts in capturing Mission #42 Veterans’ stories! Thank you to our Veterans for sharing their stories.

When Army veteran Andy Boyd landed at Travis Air Force Base in 1970, he walked straight into a peace demonstration where a young girl spit on him. In the decades since, he pushed away the emotions.

His daughter, Trulie, told me they never talked about it at home- they didn’t eat rice or watch war movies. They avoided all reminders of Vietnam.

So when Trulie signed her dad up for the Honor Flight, she was too nervous to tell him. As it turns out... it was an experience that would heal more than five decades of pain.

Speaking of showing up…this group of Veterans are always ready to welcome home our Veterans every flight!

Navy Seabees! We were fortunate to have a few with us! What are they known for … glad you asked…

“U.S. Navy Seabees (short for Construction Battalions) are a specialized military engineering force that builds and repairs critical infrastructure for the military, responds to natural disasters, and defends their worksites. Operating under their motto "We Build, We Fight," Seabees combine heavy construction trades with tactical military training.”

We SALUTE our Navy Seabees!
