The Collier-Lee
Honor Flight Mission
Veterans from SWFL visit DC, honor fallen friends at Vietnam Wall
The mission of Collier-Lee Honor Flight is to transport local veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials dedicated to honoring their service and sacrifice. Established on September 25, 2013, as Collier County Honor Flight, the organization was created to bring the national Honor Flight program to the Collier County, Florida, area. Our inaugural flight took place just six weeks later, on November 9, 2013, and was a resounding success.
These trips are made possible entirely through the dedication of volunteers and are provided at no cost to the veterans. Priority is given to our most senior veterans—especially World War II veterans—and to any veteran facing a terminal illness who wish to visit their memorial. All other veterans are eligible for upcoming flights on a chronological basis.
At Collier-Lee Honor Flight, our mission is powered entirely by volunteers—dedicated individuals who receive no financial compensation for their time or service. We receive no federal, state, or local funding; instead, we rely solely on the generous donations of individuals, families, and businesses from our local community and beyond.
We have 25 staff volunteers, seen below in yellow shirts, and 50+ event volunteers. None of our volunteers receive any financial compensation.
We are an IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Our EIN is: 46-4031697. We are also registered with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services as a charitable organization.
Your donation goes directly toward honoring our veterans by sending them to Washington, D.C., where they visit the memorials dedicated to their service and sacrifice. This unforgettable journey is completely free for the veterans, made possible through your support.
You can donate by clicking on the red "DONATE" button at the top of this home page. You can also mail a check to us at the address in the "CONTACT US" section of our website.
Thanks to your generosity, we can continue offering this meaningful experience—what we call their "One Last Mission." It is our privilege to escort them to our nation's capital, giving them the chance to reflect, connect, and find closure at the memorials built in their honor.
