Become a Guardian
Guardians stand as vital pillars of support for the Middle Georgia Honor Flight, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and creating lasting memories for every veteran on their journey.
Assigned to a single veteran, a Guardian's responsibilities span from accompanying them to and from the airport, guiding them through the tour of Washington DC, sharing a seat on the charter bus, to dining together at various stops.
Their dedication and presence make the entire experience not only secure but also profoundly meaningful.
Whether you are aged 18-60, in good health, and driven by the desire to positively impact the lives of those who have served our nation, or if you are a child or grandchild of a veteran eager to forge lasting memories, the role of a Guardian welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds and motivations.
This responsibility holds immeasurable value to both the Middle Georgia Honor Flight and the veterans they serve, turning each trip into a cherished and impactful experience.
Become a Sponsor
As a non-profit organization, the Middle Georgia Honor Flight relies on the generosity of donors and partners who support its mission. You can sponsor a veteran or some aspect of a flight, donate directly, or offer a service that will help them continue their mission.
Your tax-deductible contribution is a great way to say "thanks" to the men and women who have served our country.
