Honor Flight of West Central Florida – Mandatory Postponement of Honor Flight Trips due to Covid-19

Hello!

I hope this find everyone safe, sound and ready to slowly move into our “new normal”.

April, our President, has asked me to send out the attached letter regarding our awesome organization. Sadly, Honor Flight Network has decided to postpone all flights and events for 2020. Hopefully, we will be settled into a routine and ready to hit the ground running in 2021.

I will keep you updated as we work our way through these next few months . We are looking forward to seeing everyone next year.

Please take care of each other and stay safe.

Sharon

The safety and well-being of our Veterans, guardians and volunteers is our number one priority. We are in the process of notifying all Veterans, guardians and volunteers regarding our spring flights.
