My father, William David Blue, took his honor flight last May 2022.

We are sending all of the donations made at his service to Honor Flight to fulfill his wish of sponsorship. Please accept $555.00 to sponsor a deserving veteran. Thank you for all you do!

Larson, Victor

Our donation is on belief of a dear friend, Victor Larson, a Korean War vet we met through Stars and Stripes Honor Flight. Jamie was first selected as Vic’s guardian, but due to health issues, he was unable to travel. When he finally was able, Jamie was already assigned to be a guardian for another vet so I was selected to be Vic’s guardian. As it turned out, we both were able to share his special day in DC along with Jamie’s Korean War vet. What a memorable day the four of us had! Vic brought so many smiles and laughter to those he met and through this experience, he became like family to us. We were so blessed to have him in our lives. RIP Victor. You may be gone, but never forgotten.

Miller, Jesse

In loving memory of my father who participated in the May 16th 2015 honor flight. What an incredible experience we had that day. You as a Veteran and myself as a guardian. It was such an honor for my father to be honor in such an incredible way. To meet with other Veterans and to see all the Memorials and Arlington Cemetery. The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns Soldier was incredible and I saw the tears in my Father eyes that told me the story of what this all meant to him. Unfortunately my father passed away on September 21st. 2015. My father talked about that day in DC right up to the day of his passing. He continually thank me for signing him up to go on this experience. I told my father that the people we need to thank are all the great folks at the Stars and Stripes Honor Flights Organization. So in my Father name please accept this annual donation in my father name. Keep up the great work of honoring our Great Veterans.

Woltman, Ward

In memory of Ward Woltman, who passed away in November 2022 at the age of 96. He proudly served in the infantry of the US Army in the Philippines and Japan during WWII. The Good Lord watched over him during battle, putting a pile of dirt, a rock, or a tree between him and a bomb or a bullet numerous times. After the war, he worked hard his entire life and raised a family that loved him immensely. If ever there was a man to model your life after, he was it - generous, happy, hard-working, tough-as-nails, with a strong faith, a healthy competitiveness, and a deep love for his family, with an extra special love for each and every one of his grandchildren. He will be deeply missed, but loved and remembered forever.
