HONOR FLIGHT CHICAGO

Hello! My name is Hannah Wollschlager, and I am a student at Benedictine University. I am a part of the L.E.A.D.S. program (Leadership, Empowerment, Action, Development, Service) and am doing a service project to raise money for the Honor Flight Chicago.

If you have never heard about Honor Flights, they are privately funded flights that fly veterans to the nation's memorials in Washington D.C. to honor them for their service. My own great-grandfather, Raymond Walsh, had the honor of being an Honor Flight recipient on October 30, 2013.

Argonne has had the opportunity to have (9) of its Veterans fly with Honor Flight Chicago as Guardians escorting Vietnam Veterans in since 2022. It was such an amazing experience, we want to support their program as much as we can! Please consider giving to this wonderful cause! Our goal is $2,500 which is the cost of flying two deserving Veterans on their honor flight.

"At Honor Flight Chicago, our mission is to Honor, Thank, and Inspire senior Veterans from WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War by building awareness and appreciation of the debt of gratitude America owes its Veterans for their service and sacrifice for our nation. As the largest hub in the nationwide Honor Flight Network, we are proud that in 2023 we will fly our 10,000th senior hero to visit the Memorials in D.C. built in tribute to their service and sacrifice. It currently costs roughly $1,250 for us to fly one senior heros to D.C., and we have more than 2,600 deserving veterans still waiting for their life-changing journey.

Thank you so much for your consideration and support of America’s senior war heroes!"
