Honor flight network

American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Arkansas President, Patty Tucker, has selected the Honor Flight Network as her President’s Project for 2025-2026. ALA Arkansas Girls State will be raising funds during the weeklong session to donate to the President’s Project.

Honor Flight Network is a national nonprofit organization that provides free trips for U.S. Veterans to visit Washington D.C. to visit the memorials that were built to honor their service. There are 128 independent hubs across the country working together to achieve the Honor Flight mission.

Participation in an Honor Flight trip gives Veterans the opportunity to share time with other comrades, remember the fallen, and share stories with other Veterans. The Veterans always travel free of charge, thanks to donations from organizations such as The American Legion Family. While initially focused solely on World War II Veterans, eligibility has expanded to include those who served during the Korean War and Vietnam War eras. The Honor Flight TLC program also honors Veterans of any service era who are critically ill.

In 2021, American Legion Auxiliary National Headquarters entered a formal partnership with Honor Flight Inc. to support their mission. This allows ALA units and departments to donate funds generated from our distribution of poppies directly to Honor Flight.
