Overview

Mission

To provide financial assistance to help veterans to avoid suicide To organize fund raisers to obtain funds to make contributions to local veterans organizations which deal directly with local veterans

What it reported doing in 2024

Old Glory Honor Flight is a program which takes veterans from Wisconsi to Washington DC. At DC the veteran visits many of the veteran memorials. Many of the veterans have never been to Washington DC. For many veterans this visit is a great event in his or her life. The visit helps some veterans to heal old wounds remaining from the war or conflict in which he or she fought. The sponsors hope that this visit will be educational for all veterans. And that the visit might also be a step to help a veteran to seek counseling and not be a suicide victim. Each veteran is accompanied with a chaperone. The trip to DC is at no expense to the veteran. The trip is to honor veterans, to find peace, to honor the fallen, to bond with fellow veterans.
