Original Story
The annual Honor Flight Maine Telethon is back for its sixth year of supporting Maine's veterans.
What is Honor Flight Maine?
It's a nonprofit organization that works every year to honor America’s Veterans for all their service and sacrifices. They bring our heroes to Washington, D.C. to make an experience of a lifetime a reality.
NEWS CENTER Maine is hosting the telethon in our name to help those who have served the country for countless years, from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 16.
Pre-telethon donations can be made now on the Honor Flight Maine (HFM) website. You can show your support for Maine veterans who served in World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and onward by donating here.
All proceeds benefit HFM's travel costs and care for veterans who will make their way to Washington D.C. to tour the memorials, reflect, heal, and pay tribute to their fallen comrades.
First priority is given to the frailest veterans, terminally ill veterans of all conflicts, and World War II survivors. Korean and Vietnam Veterans are also transported on a first-come, first-served, space-available basis.
If you know any veterans interested in making the trip, encourage them to apply through Honor Flight Maine's veteran application process on their website. Volunteers and guardians are also needed and welcome to apply to the organization.
Keep an eye out on our Facebook, Instagram, and the NEWS CENTER Maine mobile app for all updates on this event. Thank you for your support.
