How does the process work?
Veteran applications are taken in the order they are submitted, the order of war/conflict they served and medical situations such as being terminal. Example: A Vietnam Veteran or later could submit an application and they would be entered into our database, however as Korean, Cold War or World War II applications continue to come in, they will be placed ahead based on their war/conflict time frame.
Your application is entered into our system based primarily on the date it was received and then based on the dates you served. When we officially call you for your Honor Flight will depend on the number of applications received and where you fall in our waiting list.
If you (the Veteran) have a health condition that deteriorates and would require a doctors determination of terminal or similar status, please contact our offices immediately so our medical team can provide an updated medical evaluation.
