Honor Flight of Oregon, a member of  the
Honor Flight Network, is a non-profit
organization located in Grants Pass, Or,
created solely to honor America's veterans
for all their sacrifices.  We transport our heroes
living in Oregon to Washington, D.C.
to visit and reflect at their memorials. Top
priority is given to the senior veterans –
World War II survivors, along with those other
veterans who may be terminally ill.

Of all of the wars in recent memory, it was
World War II that truly threatened our very
existence as a nation—and as a culturally
diverse, free society. Now, with over
one thousand World War II veterans dying
each day, our time to express our thanks
to these brave men and women is running out.



























MISSION STATEMENT: Transport America's veterans to Washington, D.C. to
visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service
and sacrifices


GOAL:   Helping Oregon veterans, willing and able of getting
on a  plane, visit THEIR memorial.

PRIORITY:  Top priority is given to America's most senior heroes -
survivors of World War II and any veteran with a terminal
illness who wishes to visit THEIR memorial.

PHILOSOPHY:   Since America felt it was important to build a memorial to
the service and the ultimate sacrifice of her veterans, the
Honor Flight Network and Honor Flight of Oregon believes
it's equally important that they actually get to visit and
experience THEIR memorial.

MOTTO:"We can't all be heroes.  Some of us have to stand on the
curb and clap as they go by."  - Will Rogers

HONOR FLIGHT OF OREGON
INAUGURAL FLIGHT  - UNBELIEVABLE!


We cannot express our Thanks to:

  Shilo Inn, Portland Airport for the fabulous send off dinner to honor     our Veterans.  Thank you Maureen for everything,  you and the staff gave us a great start to our adventure.

Judi and the Heroes Welcome Honor Flight Hub at Dulles airport
for  the warm Welcome to DC, unbelievable.  We never would have even made it out of the airport without you!

Special Thanks to Greg and the Oregon Patriot Guard Riders,  the
Air Force JROTC and Chief Shannon from Battle Ground,
the Emergency Crews at PDX on the runway, the off duty Air Force MP's, the hundreds of  passengers in the terminal and the
families and friends who meet us.  You will never know what it
meant to all of us!  You gave these Veterans the Welcome home
they didn't get 65 years ago and wonderful memories
they will carry forever.

Ron you did an awesome job covering the trip, and when you
weren't behind the camera you just jumped in and helped where
ever there was a need.  Thank you, you can be a guardian anytime and just go for the fun of it!!

  Erica, hope you know that you have 23 new grandpas.  They all
fell   in love with you.  You made everything so special.
  Please pass along our Thanks to everyone.

And to all the Guardians - there just aren't enough words.
  It was a  privilege and honor to meet all of you.  The veterans had
a safe, happy and memorable trip because of your dedication and care.  Hope you had fun too!

To all of the Donors, it goes without saying that we could not have done this without your generosity and your belief in the mission of Honor Flight of Oregon.

Now that we have completed our first trip and had such a
wonderful experience we are back to work to make this  happen
again, and  again, and again until we can fly all  Oregon Veterans
west of the Cascades that want to go, scheduled for their flight.
So help us spread the word and make these flights happen!

Check back  and as soon as we can schedule the next trip,
you'll see it here first!


God Bless our Troops and God Bless America
