SOUTHERN OREGON HONOR FLIGHT


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

These are the most frequent questions veterans ask when contacting us.  If you have a question that is not listed,
please feel fee to contact us.

Q: Can my wife (husband) go with me? 

A:  Unfortunately No. At the present time, we have almost 300 World War II veterans on our  waiting list.  It is doubtfu
that we will get to every deserving veteran in time. Hundreds of World War II veterans have passed away while
patiently waiting their turn. Hundreds more will not live long enough to visit their precious memorial. Imagine how long
the waiting list would be if we added non-veteran spouses to our waiting list. The only spouses who are permitted to
go are those who are veterans themselves.

We simply do not have the resources, funding, or seating available to transport all the veterans who are presently on
our waiting list. Adding spouses and widows simply isn't an option for our program at this time.

Q:  Can my son, daughter, grandchild etc. go as a guardian? 

A:  If the veteran is more comfortable with a family member accompanying them, we will try an accomadate.  We will
usually only accept next generation (or more) down to travel with the veteran as a guardian, with a minimum age of 18.
As a guardian, the family member will pay their own expenses as do all guardians.  Each veteran does not necessarily
have to have a "personal" guardian.  We will have volunteer guardians to assist all veterans with whatever needs they
may have.

Our TOP priority is the safe travel of ALL the veterans. Who will or will not serve as a guardian, and how many
guardians will be needed, is the sole responsibility of the Hub Director. That decision is based upon many factors,
such as:

How many disabled veterans are scheduled to go?

Of the disabled veterans going, how many will have to be physically assisted getting on and off the bus?

Which guardian applicants are most qualified? Medically trained, active duty military personnel and veterans who
have previously participated in a flight are given top priority and serve as leadership members. The applicants
physically capable of assisting in the lifting of veterans are also a top priority. Once the director feels enough of
those positions have been filled, other applicants are then considered. Again, these decisions rest solely with the
Hub Director.
 
Q:  How much does it cost?  How much money do I need to bring?

A:  The cost is FREE for WWII and terminally ill veterans.  You do not need to bring any money, unless you intend to
purchase souvenirs.

Q:  Can I make a donation to Honor Flight?

A:  Honor Flight gratefully accepts donations from anyone EXCEPT WWII veterans.
We feel that WWII veterans have given enough.  This is our way of saying Thank You.

Q:  How do you decide who gets to go?

A:  Veterans are flown on a "First to register - first to fly basis."  We are currently focusing on WWII veterans
       as they have waited so long for their memorial.  We will also try and get a terminally ill veteran from any
       generation on the next available flight.
