Important:

• Age Limit: Guardians must be under 73 years old.

• Health and Approval: Guardians must be in good health and approved by the Lake County Honor Flight Trip Director.

• Eligibility: Spouses, domestic partners, or significant others of veterans are not eligible to serve as their assigned guardians.

• Training: Once assigned to a mission, you must attend a mandatory guardian training course. Currently, only in-person training is available, and it is conducted on a specific date. Please note that makeup dates for the training are not possible.

• If you are applying to be the guardian of a specific veteran, you must be at least 15 years younger and one generation removed from that veteran.

• Lake County Honor Flight reserves the right to request reference(s) from any guardian applying to participate in the program.

 

​Without guardians, Honor Flight could not be possible. Thank you for your commitment to “serve those who have served us.” Thank you for supporting our veterans!
