Thank you for joining Honor Flight Austin on this special journey, honoring our heroes as they visit their memorials with pride and honor.
Honor Flight Austin depends on the generous support of our local and national Guardians. Our Guardians play a vital role on every trip, ensuring each Veteran has a safe, comfortable, and meaningful experience from the moment they arrive at the airport until we return home.
Safety is paramount, and every veteran is accompanied by a trained Honor Flight Guardian.
Honor Flight Austin Guardians
We have a limit on local guardians that we send to Washington D.C. This allows Honor Flight Austin to use our resources on our Veterans for future flights. We appreciate your willingness to never leave the side of your Veteran while assisting at the airport. When your Veteran returns home to Austin Bergstrom International Airport, you may not receive the same Veteran you assisted on the send-off. We believe the unique experiences of all our Veterans will have a positive impact on your volunteer experience.
All Austin Honor Flight Guardians traveling to Washington D.C. are asked to make arrangements to pay the Honor Flight Guardian fee prior to their assigned Honor Flight. Your duties will be similar to the D.C. Guardians.
D.C. Guardians
Thank you for volunteering your time to support and care for our Veterans while they are in Washington, D.C. We are grateful for your commitment to stay by your Veteran’s side throughout the journey. Serving as a Guardian is both meaningful and deeply memorable. Please help our Veterans and their families remember this Trip of a Lifetime by taking photos of your Veteran along the way.
We encourage you to communicate your questions or concerns as a Guardian. You can share by contacting us. We appreciate your feedback.
You’re welcome to share photos on the Honor Flight Austin Facebook page. Our veterans’ families and friends truly value seeing their Hero captured on this special Tour of Honor.
