Because of your generosity, an incredible 2,272 miles were traveled by those impacted by injuries related to Operation Epic Fury. We are truly grateful for the outpouring of support around this mission. But the need is urgent and ongoing. We are working to raise $3M to fund 6,000 flights, and every donation helps ensure no service member has to face recovery alone.

If you feel moved to help reunite an injured service member with their loved ones, please consider donating today: https://www.lukeswings.org

The impact of Operation Epic Fury extends far beyond the battlefield—it continues in hospital rooms where wounded service members begin the long road to recovery.

For those arriving at U.S. military hospitals, healing takes more than expert medical care. It takes the comfort of seeing familiar faces, hearing encouraging voices, and knowing loved ones are close by during the hardest moments.

That’s why Luke’s Wings provides emergency travel for military families, ensuring wounded Heroes can focus on recovery with the support of those who matter most. As the need grows, so does the urgency of our mission.

Our goal is to raise $3 million to provide 6,000 flights for wounded service members and their families in the months ahead.

Every donation helps reunite families when they’re needed most—bringing loved ones to the bedside during critical moments of healing. Join us in making a difference: https://www.lukeswings.org

🎉 Yesterday, we proudly celebrated the 251st Birthday of the United States Army, honoring more than two and a half centuries of service, sacrifice, and strength.

At Luke's Wings, we are grateful for the service members who have answered the call to serve our Nation. From the front lines to the home front, your dedication, resilience, and courage inspire everything we do.

When tragedy strikes in the line of duty, families of fallen and injured law enforcement officers deserve to be together—not kept apart by the burden of travel costs.

As we continue to reflect on National Police Week, we're highlighting our Fallen Officers Transportation Assistance Program (F.O.T.A.P.), which provides emergency travel coordination and complimentary airfare to the families and loved ones of law enforcement officers, immediately following a catastrophic injury or death while serving in the line of duty. Our team is dedicated and committed to helping each and every one of our Nation’s Heroes. We stand ready to serve.

Watch as Sheriff Mark Lamb, a champion of Luke's Wings, shares the impact of F.O.T.A.P. and how you can support our mission. Learn more at lukeswings.org

A huge thank you to the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce for the incredible and humbling recognition of our very own Co-Founder & CEO, Fletcher Gill Sr., who was named the 2026 Veteran Advocate of the Year.

This award recognized an individual known for helping Veterans and Veteran’s families, resulting in an extraordinarily positive impact on the Veteran community throughout the Greater Washington region.

We were especially honored to see Luke’s Wings and Fletcher’s advocacy recognized in the Congressional Record by Congressman James R. Walkinshaw — a meaningful reflection of our mission to support wounded, ill, and injured service members, Veterans, and their families during critical moments of recovery.

Mackenzie Yaede proudly accepted the award on Fletcher’s behalf.

The Northern Virginia Chamber’s Distinguished Service Awards celebrates Veterans and those who serve them, bringing together mission-driven leaders from across the region to recognize service, leadership, and lasting impact within the Veteran community.

Congratulations to all of this year’s honorees, and thank you to the Northern Virginia Chamber for continuing to uplift and recognize those dedicated to serving others. 💙

The Luke’s Wings team was deeply honored to be invited to the White House by Courtney Stecker — a longtime champion and dedicated supporter of our mission.

During our visit, we had the privilege of meeting incredible individuals who are working tirelessly to support service members, military spouses, and families. It was a powerful reminder that behind every service member is a family making sacrifices alongside them, and that supporting those families is essential to the strength of our military community.

We are encouraged and inspired by the continued commitment to ensuring military families have the resources, support, and care they deserve. Luke’s Wings is grateful to stand alongside those making a difference, and we are excited for all that is ahead. 💙

Luke's Wings was honored to participate in Walter Reed National Military Medical Center’s Caregiver Appreciation Luncheon in celebration of Military Caregiver Day on Wednesday, May 6, held at the USO building on the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center campus.

The Luke’s Wings team joined fellow nonprofit organizations dedicated to supporting our military families and caregivers. We were especially proud to distribute care kits packaged by attendees of Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. Ignite Conference last July.

These kits were given to the caregivers who make countless sacrifices to remain by the side of their wounded, ill, and injured service members through every challenge, milestone, and moment of uncertainty.

Caregivers are often the quiet strength behind recovery — providing comfort, advocacy, and unwavering love while carrying so much themselves. Their resilience and devotion do not go unnoticed.

While National Caregivers Day gives us a special opportunity to recognize their impact, we are grateful for these extraordinary individuals every single day of the year.

Luke’s Wings is deeply honored to support and give back to a community that sacrifices so much in service to others. To every caregiver standing beside a service member during their healing journey: thank you. Your compassion, strength, and selflessness inspire us all. 💙

Today we celebrate Armed Forces Day, a moment to honor all who serve in the United States Armed Forces.

This day recognizes the dedication, discipline, and sacrifice of service members across every branch who commit their lives to protecting our nation. From training at home to missions around the world, their readiness and resilience reflect the very best of military service.

At Luke’s Wings, we are deeply grateful for every individual who serves and for the families who stand behind them through every deployment and transition. Supporting connection and togetherness is at the heart of what we do.

Today, we thank you for your service, your strength, and your commitment to our country.
