Honor Flight "Mail Call" Letter Writing (and day/time)
Who: Honor Flight (Any State)
Honor Flight Network is a national nonprofit organization comprised of independent hubs working together to achieve the Honor Flight mission.
Participation in an Honor Flight trip gives veterans the opportunity to share this momentous occasion with other comrades, remember the fallen, and share their stories and experiences with other veterans. Honored veterans always travel free of charge, thanks to generous donations to our organization.
What: Honor Flight Mail Call letters are heartfelt, handwritten notes, cards, or drawings from family, friends, and community members delivered to veterans during their trip to Washington, D.C., as a surprise of gratitude. These letters are crucial for creating a memorable "mail call" moment, often including messages like "Thank you for your service" or sharing personal stories.
Note: You will be responsible for all letter writing materials.
