Occasionally, Honor Flight will request cards to be sent to a particular veteran.
A few tips:
Make the letter out to “Dear Veteran,” as we fly World War II and Korean War veterans.
Thank them for their service, for our freedoms and for our country.
These can be letters or cards.
Please do not draw violent pictures, but certainly include pictures like tanks, soldiers, US flags and other fun drawings.
Please do not date them, as we may use these over multiple flights.
(Please, no glitter – seriously)
We will list all current requests on this page:
Jack Eaton is America’s oldest living Sentinel at over 100 years old. He guarded the Tomb of the Unknown from 1938 – 1940 and was honored in October with his plaque on the wall of Honor at Arlington National Cemetery.
Very active Jack is now quarantined and his family has asked for cards to cheer him up and show our community’s support.
Send a note to brighten his day!

Would love for our Girl Scout Troop to do this. It would be great if they could provide a card to all on a particular Honor Flight.
Wonderful program!!
Hi Debi,
We are so excited and thankful for your time and commitment to our veterans. If you check out the 2015 schedule page, you’ll see there are a lot of groups coming into the city on the dates you’ll be visiting. For anything that is TBD, that means we have not yet received official word on arrival times. Please keep checking back to our website regularly, we will post as soon as we get the word. We try to update every Friday.
Thanks again!
Where do you send the cards for the unknown veteran?
Please keep the cards to an unknown Veteran time-agnostic so they can be used during their HF trip (spring or fall)! Please email hf.dca.coordinator@gmail.com to set up a way to hand them off!
My afterschool program will be sending him cards as well – We love you Mr. Haley….
I would like the address to send some cards for unknown Veterans. Can you please post it. Thanks.
please email hf.dca.coordinator@gmail.com to set up the address. Thanks!
Gene, We are so proud you have got to goon this trip. Hope it was everything you dreamed about. You have always been someone to look up to. Enjoy every minute of your trip, so you can tell us all about it when you get home. You are an HONOR to be called a friend.

Can mail call requests be dated. I would like to get my students involved, but I do not know if the requests are current. Thank you for your commitment to honoring our national heros.
Hi Nicole, thanks for the feedback and we will do this going forward!
