Honoring Yesterday’s Heroes was designed for honoring deceased Veterans who are unable to visit their memorial(s) in Washington, D.C. (WWII, Korean, Vietnam). The program is open to all deceased Veterans who served on active duty, regardless of the duty assignment or location in which the Veteran served. To participate in Honoring Yesterday’s Heroes, please submit a 8x10 photograph of the deceased Veteran (preferably in uniform) during the time of his/her service. However, other photographs are acceptable. Photographs may be original or a copy.

Honor Flight of the Ozarks received over 65 NEW and used wheelchairs to use in Washington, and enough used wheelchairs to help us transport our Veterans to the airplane prior to departure.

Many many thanks to the generosity of our many donors and to Springfield-Branson National Airport for providing storage space for the wheelchairs. We are so grateful for your support!
