Today marks the 251st birthday of the U.S. Navy! 🎉

On October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress established what would become today’s United States Navy. What began as a small fleet has grown into a force with a proud legacy of courage, service, and sacrifice — defending our Nation and protecting freedom around the world.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve in the Navy. At Luke’s Wings, we’re proud to stand behind our Nation’s Heroes and the families who support them every step of the way. 💙⚓

Happy Birthday, U.S. Navy!

The Luke’s Wings team was honored to spend the day at Fort Bragg on Tuesday! We had the privilege of meeting with the Commander and First Sergeant of the Soldier Recovery Unit, along with their case workers. The visit gave us the opportunity to share more about our Transportation Assistance Program lines, with a special focus on our No Service Member Spends The Holidays Alone campaign.

Through this campaign, Luke’s Wings is dedicated to ensuring that wounded, ill, and injured service members and Veterans who are currently receiving treatment and who may otherwise be alone during the holidays have the support and presence of their loved ones.

Our team also visited the 82nd Airborne Division Museum to pay our respects to the fallen Airborne Soldiers who gave their lives in service to our country. Standing among their stories and remembering the sacrifices of those who came before us was a powerful reminder of the legacy carried by those who serve today.

Luke’s Wings is honored to stand beside our wounded, ill, and injured service members, Veterans, and their families. We are proud of the work we do to keep families together when they need one another most.

🚨 ICYMI: Veterans, service members and military families - know this before your next flight!

TSA now offers Military Lanes at participating airports. At airports without a dedicated Military Lane, eligible travelers may also receive front-of-the-line service.

You don’t have to be in uniform to use these services. Valid military or Veteran identification may be used for access.

A few important reminders:
• Military Lanes are not the same as TSA PreCheck.
• TSA PreCheck is a separate program with its own eligibility requirements. Active-duty service members and certain DoD personnel may qualify for additional TSA PreCheck benefits, while Veteran status alone does not automatically provide free TSA PreCheck.
• Participating airports and procedures can change, so check TSA.gov before you travel.
• If you need additional assistance at the airport, TSA Cares recommends contacting them at least 72 hours before your flight when possible.

Today, we honor the Gold Star Mothers and Families who carry the memory and legacy of their loved ones every day.

Their loved ones made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our Nation, and their families carry a sacrifice of their own. Today, and every day, we remember their Heroes, honor their strength, and stand beside them.

At Luke’s Wings, we are grateful for the Gold Star Families whose love, courage, and strength continue to honor the legacies of those who gave their lives in service to our Nation.

We will never forget.

Through our Fallen Officers Transportation Assistance Program (F.O.T.A.P.), Luke's Wings was honored to provide flights for the family of Officer Austin A., a 30-year-old Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Officer and U.S. Marine Veteran who was killed in the line of duty on August 4, 2026. These flights allowed his loved ones to gather in Las Vegas for his memorial service before traveling to his hometown of Greenville, South Carolina, where he was laid to rest. Luke’s Wings was especially grateful to arrange for Officer Austin A.'s wife and siblings to travel on the same Delta flight that carried him home to South Carolina, allowing them to accompany him on his final journey.

Officer Austin A. made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting his community after responding to reports of an armed man behaving erratically. Upon arriving at the scene, he was ambushed and shot multiple times as he exited his patrol vehicle. Officer Austin A. is survived by his wife, his parents, and three siblings.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Luke's Wings was able to ensure Officer Austin A.'s family could be together to honor his memory and find comfort in one another during an unimaginable time of loss.

Following the services, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's family liaison shared with our team that Officer Austin A.'s family was "extremely grateful" for the support provided by Luke's Wings. Stories like this reflect the heart of our mission: ensuring families can be together when they need each other most. Read more here: https://lukeswings.org/stories/
