Tour of Honor: Veteran Testimonials

About Honor Flight

Honor Flight Central Coast California has a single mission: to take our veterans to Washington, DC to visit the memorials that pay tribute to their military service. We are an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides veterans from Southern Monterey County through Ventura County with no-cost “Tour of Honor” trips.

Our local hub was founded in 2014 and is part of the National Honor Flight Network. To date, almost 700 local veterans have participated in these three-day trips that include stops at military and war memorials, Arlington National Cemetery and other sites. The trips are powerful, emotional celebrations of military service and friendship, a time of healing and closure and an opportunity for veterans to receive long overdue thanks for their service and sacrifice.

We encourage all veterans to apply, from of any service and any assignment (at home or abroad). Every veteran deserves a Tour of Honor.

Currently almost 200 local veterans are waiting to go on their Tour of Honor.  Time is not on our side.

To quickly learn more about our mission and the positive effect that it has on the veterans, watch the 5 minute video on the right.

In May 2014 Honor Flight Central Coast California took its first group of veterans from San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties to Washington D. C. To date we have taken over 660 veterans on their “Tour of Honor” at no cost to them. We rely solely on donations from the public to make this happen.
