Honor Flight Rochester

10/16/2026

To our Vietnam-era veterans:

If you served through 1975 and have not taken a Honor Flight, we want your application.

Don't wait for the “last flight.”

Don't assume someone else should go before you.

Don't assume your service doesn't qualify because you weren't in combat or didn't serve overseas.

You served.

Honor Flight Rochester takes veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect together at the monuments and memorials built in their honor.

More than 5,000 veterans have already made that journey with us.

We want you to be one of the next.

Apply now. It’s your turn.

There are veterans in our community who still haven't taken their Honor Flight.

Some don't know they are eligible. Some don't think their service was “important enough.” Some keep saying they'll go another time.

We need your help finding them.

Think about your family, neighborhood, workplace, church, veterans organization or community group.

Do you know someone who served during World War II, Korea, the Cold War or Vietnam era through 1975?

Ask one simple question:

“Have you taken your Honor Flight?”

If the answer is no, encourage the Veteran to apply.

Family members, friends, veterans organizations and community groups can all help us identify veterans who may not otherwise apply.

Share this post. Tag a friend. Call a veteran. Help us find them.

One word for Mission 98!!

10/06/2026

We hear it all the time.

“Take someone else.”
“Someone else deserves it more.”
“I’ll go someday.”

That humility is one of the things we admire about our Veterans.

But Honor Flight Rochester has now honored more than 5,000 veterans on flights to Washington, D.C. We have another mission coming this year and our 100th Mission is approaching next spring. Then we need to fill more missions in 2027 and beyond.

If you served through 1975, we don't want you to keep waiting for “someone else.”

It’s your turn. Apply now.

And if you know a veteran who always puts everyone else first, send this to him or her.

Honor Flight Rochester Mission 98 Welcome Home Ceremony Wraps Up...

Tim was the Honor Flight Rochester Mission 98 Keynote Speaker for the mission's welcome home ceremony on Sunday, October 4, 2026.

This mission was the first HFR mission to include a Bus component of 21 veterans who were unable to fly, which synchronized activities for memorial tours and also the arrival and welcome home ceremony back at the Rochester airport.

It also was a significant milestone for HFR, as this mission crossed the 5,000 veterans having gone on missions since HFR was formed in 2008.
