Honor Flight Northwest Georgia is a program organized by local volunteers to pay tribute to our Bartow County World War II Veterans, by sponsoring tours to Washington, DC, to visit their World War II Memorial. The World War II Memorial was just dedicated in 2004, and so many of our World War II Veterans have never had a chance to see it or pay their respects.  We want to make this tour both to honor our veterans and to ensure that those veterans who want to see their memorial have the opportunity to do so. 

This is a one-day tour.  Our veterans will travel by chartered aircraft to Dulles International Airport. Upon arrival, they will board motor coaches and travel to the Washington Mall to tour the World War II Memorial and enjoy lunch. There will also be an opportunity to tour the Korean War Veterans, Vietnam Veterans and Iwo Jima Memorials. If time permits, the coaches will make a slow, respectful tour of Arlington National Cemetery before returning to Dulles International Airport.
