After learning about Honor Flight in 2010, ALA National President Pam Ray took her father, a U.S. Army veteran, on a flight that truly impacted both of their lives. Ray has been a passionate advocate of Honor Flight’s mission since, and her genuine connection to Honor Flight inspired her to lead the national American Legion Auxiliary in sponsoring an all-female veteran Lone Eagle Honor Flight this April. Check out National President Pam Ray’s message about Honor Flight and the ALA's commitment to their mission of gratitude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RvVIy2AVF4

For many veterans, this is more than a trip — it’s a long-overdue ‘thank you.' ❤️

The ALA-sponsored Lone Eagle Flight is April 13–15. ✈️ Follow along on our social media during those days to experience the journey as it unfolds.

Of those, 22,299 called for support for the , which would ensure that combat-injured retirees can receive both their Department of Defense retirement pay and the disability compensation earned through their sacrifices. The standalone bill has overwhelming bipartisan support, with 313 cosponsors in the House and 77 in the Senate as of January 2026—more than enough to pass if brought to a floor vote.
