Changes Announced for the Next Quad Cities Honor Flight

Submitted
On June 1st, the 66th Honor Flight will leave the Quad Cities International Airport with over 80 veterans on their way to Washington, D. C. to see the memorials built in their honor.

Because of construction beginning at the Airport there will be changes.

On the morning of June 1st all veterans should be dropped off at Door 6.  (This is a change from the usual 7)

Honor Flight of the Quad Cities hopes that many citizens of the area will be at the QCIA at 9 pm to get ready to welcome this veteran (and his 80 fellow military brothers and sisters) home after their long day.  

However, all family and friends should enter at Door 5.  There will be tape on the floor marking the NEW parade route.  Parking at the airport will be free to all that night.

To be placed on our waiting list all Veterans must submit an application along with their DD-214, DD-256, or NGB-22.  Applications may be found at our website: www.honorflightqc.org. Near the bottom of the page are the words “Veteran Application.”  Click on those words and download the application.  Then send the completed application to the address shown on the form.We also will need volunteers who would like to be a Guardian (especially those with medical experience) and spend a wonderful and unforgettable day with a veteran as they both fly to DC.  We strongly encourage adults of the area to consider this opportunity.  More details and guardian applications are available at our website at www.honorflightqc.org.
