Never Forgotten Honor Flight

We believe every veteran deserves to feel the gratitude of a nation. That belief is why Never Forgotten Honor Flight was created in 2009.

Four times a year, we bring veterans from central Wisconsin to Washington, D.C., where they can experience the memorials that reflect their sacrifice and service.

As an affiliate of the Honor Flight Network, we welcome any veteran who served before May 7, 1975 and received an honorable or general discharge.

Our mission is simple: honor them while we still can.

For many veterans, the experiences of their service were life-changing - but the recognition they received afterward was often quiet, brief, or missing altogether. 

Never Forgotten Honor Flight exists to change that. We create a day where everything pauses, and our nations heroes are placed where they belong - at the center of our gratitude.

By taking veterans to visit the memorials built in their honor, we give them the chance to reflect, to remember, and to finally feel the full weight of a nation saying, "thank you".

These journeys are about more than visiting memorials - they are about connection, reflection, and recognition.

Veterans share stories, form new bonds, and experience moments that bring pride, healing and a deep sense of appreciation.

Everything we do is guided by our core values of respect, gratitude, and honor, ensuring that each veteran feels truly seen and valued.

Being part of the Never Forgotten Honor Flight, especially as a volunteer, is something that stays with you long after the day ends.

There is a profound sense of purpose in helping recognize someone's lifetime of service.

It's the quiet smiles, the shared memories, and the overwhelming feeling of gratitude that fills the day.

Again and again, people walk away changed - reminded of the power of service, the importance of community, and the deep impact of simply showing up to honor those who gave so much.
