Highlights of the Honor Flight Mission is provided below:
- Their Mission is Simple – they offer Honor Flights to veterans so they may visit their respective War memorials in Washington, D.C.
- All World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans aged 65 and older, who served either stateside or overseas, are eligible.
- We will leave NO ONE behind!
- For many of our veterans, a trip to Washington to see their memorials is not financially or physically possible by themselves. This is the mission of Honor Flight Tri-State: to make that dream come true for as many veterans as possible.
- If a veteran does not have a family member to accompany them, we will assign a qualified and enthusiastic guardian, ready to assist them on their trip of a lifetime.
- The HONOR FLIGHT trip is at no cost to the veterans and all veterans over the age of 65, whether they served stateside or overseas, are eligible to apply.

All flights include:
- Airfare, bus tour, an Honor Flight Tri-State signature T-shirt (which must be worn on the trip), name badge souvenir, three meals, and assigned guardian on a one day trip.
- Veterans and guardians must arrive at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) Terminal at the assigned time. We take care of everything from there.
- All veterans must have their own transportation to and from the airport.
- Guardians will be asked to attend a guardian meeting one week before their flight and must be willing to pay the guardian fee.
