About
Badger Honor Flight is a dedicated regional affiliate of the national Honor Flight Network, based in Madison, WI. The organization's core mission is to provide World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and terminally ill veterans from any conflict with the profound opportunity to visit the national memorials erected in their honor in Washington D.C. This vital service ensures that these heroes receive the recognition and gratitude they deserve.
Committed to honoring veterans' immense sacrifices, Badger Honor Flight provides an all-inclusive experience at no cost to the veterans. This covers all transportation, meals, and lodging, along with essential items like shirts, jackets, and hats. Volunteer guardians accompany the veterans, ensuring their safety and comfort throughout the trip. While guardians pay a trip fee, the veterans' journey is entirely funded through donations, emphasizing the community's appreciation for their service.
Veterans and guardians interested in participating must submit an application to the Madison, WI hub. Selections are made on a first-come, first-served basis, with special priority given to terminally ill veterans and World War II veterans, reflecting the urgency and historical significance of their service. Badger Honor Flight proudly flies these national heroes to witness the monuments that stand as enduring tributes to their bravery.
