MAINE, USA — This year marks Honor Flight Maine's 10th anniversary in their mission to support Maine veterans by providing travel and care during trips to the national's capital to see memorials and monuments that honor service members and the sacrifices they have made.
What is Honor Flight Maine?
Honor Flight Maine is a nonprofit organization that works every year to honor veterans for 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 seventh annual telethon in our name to help those who have served the country from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 14.
Pre-telethon donations are now open on the Honor Flight Maine website. Donations to show support for Maine veterans can be made here.
All proceeds benefit Honor Flight Maine'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. Veterans who served in the Korean and Vietnam wars 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!
