Ladies and Gentlemen,
This email provides notice of First Coast Honor Flight, Inc.'s
inaugural Honor Flight later this year.
The sole mission of First Coast Honor Flight (FCHF) is to provide Northeast Florida Veterans with "the trip of a lifetime" to Washington, D.C. at no expense to them, to visit the monuments and memorials honoring their service and sacrifice.
For the past 18 months, serious public health concerns and the closure of most Washington-area memorial sites have prevented the nationwide network of Honor Flight Hubs from flying. The national Honor Flight Network Board of Directors has authorized Honor Flights to resume effective August 15th, 2021.
FCHF has set an inaugural flight date of Saturday, October 2, 2021 for a group of 25 Veterans and 25 Guardians to travel from Jacksonville International Airport to Washington, D.C. and return the same day. Six FCHF Staff members, including a medical doctor, will escort this group.
We are in the process of selecting the group of Veterans and Guardians who will travel on this flight. ALL SELECTEES WILL BE INDIVIDUALLY CONTACTED TO CONFIRM CONTINUED INTEREST AND AVAILABILITY. We will complete the selection and notification processes by August 31, 2021.
For the safety and wellbeing of Veterans, Guardians, Staff Members, and Volunteers, COVID-19 protocols and precautions will be in effect for all Honor Flights nationwide through the end of 2021. Additional information will be provided to Veterans and Guardians selected for FCHF’s October flight and to Volunteers wishing to assist with Flight-related events.
With respect,
Selena Hernandez-Haines
