Guardian Application Information:

 

Honor Flight would not be successful without the generous support of our guardians. Guardians play a significant role on every trip, ensuring that every veteran has a safe and memorable experience. Duties include, but are not limited to, physically assisting the veterans at the airport, during the flight and at the memorials.

 

A very limited amount of family members and friends of specific veterans may be considered as Guardians only if a slot is available, and if they attend the pre-requisite Guardian training. Training is provided on an as needed basis approximately one month prior to the planned flight. 

 

Guardian priority will be reserved for medical professionals and those with previous Honor Flight Guardian experience. Only after these slots have been filled will any other category of Guardian applicant be considered. This policy is based on safety considerations.

 

Guardians are also responsible for their own expenses (transportation, meals, t-shirt, etc.). A Guardian fee is used to offset the cost of travel, meals and supplies for the Guardians.

 

We normally have a waiting list for those wishing to serve as a guardian.

 

EFFECTIVE January 1, 2012, the Guardian Fee will be $375. This fee only helps to offset the actual travel and expenses for the Guardians.

 

Note: Volunteers who have logged 2 or more trips as Guardians, will continue to have their fee remain at $250.

 

If after reading the above, you would like to be considered as a Guardian for Honor Flight Bluegrass, please download, complete and mail the Guardian application to the address on the form. Do Not send the fee until notified of a flight assignment and training date.

 

NOTE: Electronic copies or faxes are not possible due to the original signature requirement on the application.
