The Triad Flight of Honor is a service project of Rotary District 7690, which includes the 11 county region of Piedmont North Carolina. Rotarians and other community organizations and businesses are united to honor World War II veterans for their courage, valor and sacrifice to our country.

Our WW II veterans once numbered 16 million, however, we are now losing nearly 1,200 per day. Many never got to visit their WW II Memorial that opened in Washington, DC in 2004. The veterans who are still with us are now in their 80's and 90's.

This project involves flying 100 veterans (at no cost to them) to Washington, DC from the Piedmont Triad Airport in Greensboro on a US Airways charter plane for a one-day tour of the memorials. In addition to the veterans, 33 volunteer guardians, a flight doctor, 2 EMT’s, and team leaders will be on the plane to assist our veterans throughout the day.    more about the Triad Flight of Honor
