C., those memorials which symbolize the spirit, sacrifice, and commitment of these American heroes. Honor Flight DFW (HFDFW) was established in September 2008 with an all volunteer staff and the first flight departed DFW in 2009 and, to date, Honor Flight DFW has flown over 1,800 WWII, Korean, Cold War and Vietnam veterans to Washington, DC. The all expense paid, overnight trip to Washington, DC includes visits to: WWII, Korean, Vietnam, Marine (Iwo Jima), Navy and Air Force Memorials and Arlington Cemetery. Each veteran is assigned a Guardian to ensure his/her safety. Additionally, a team of volunteer medical professionals travels with each flight.
