The Flight of Honor is a service project of Rotary District 7680 which honors the lives, valor and courage of World War II veterans who live in mid-western North Carolina with trips to visit the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. The trip is free for the veterans and includes their transportation, a catered lunch, and booklet with a biography of each veteran on the flight. A photo CD of the trip is compiled and mailed to each veteran after each trip.

Rotary District 7680 had a successful and joy-filled inaugural flight in mid-April 2009, sponsoring and sending over 100 WWII Veterans to Washington, DC. The first flight received enough recognition and support that Rotary District 7680 announced several more flights to honor those who served. District 7680 was able to support seven flights to the Washington World War II Memorial, taking over 100 veterans each trip. The last flight was in September 2011. If you have an interest in other Flights of Honor, please see the Contact Us page for information about the Honor Flight Network.

Flight of Honor is the continuation of the vision and objective of North Carolina’s Jeff Miller’s Honor Air, to send every local World War II Veteran to see the WWII Memorial in Washington, DC. The Memorial was completed in 2004 and since then has been witnessed by many people young and old, non-Veterans and Veterans. Thousands of our World War II Veterans have been taken to the Memorial each year through the generous support of corporate sponsors, family members and others in our caring communities. Rotary District 7680 would like to thank each and every one who generously supported this very worthwhile project.
