One such organization is Honor Flight Fayette Foundation, based in Fayetteville. (Other hubs in Georgia are listed in the sidebar below.)

Because of advanced age and other difficulties, many have not had an opportunity to visit,” she says. “We didn’t know what we were in for,” says Smith, but notes, “Word spread, and we had over 1,000 volunteers come to our aid.” Honor Flight Fayette made its first flight in 2008; its seventh trip landed at Reagan National on Sept. 15, 2010, with 65 World War II veterans on board. It was a glorious, latesummer day. The veterans were the honored guests, and four paramedics and two nurses oversaw their safety. This organization has finessed the program and is a model for other communities hoping to start Honor Flight foundations. Sparrow is now working with a group in Conyers to start their program. “We feel our role is to mentor programs in other communities so more veterans can make the trip,” she says.

Their dedication, organizational skills and attention to detail were very impressive. Their mission was to make a memorable and meaningful experience for the veterans, and I say ‘mission accomplished!’” Sadly, the Sept. 15 trip was the Fayette group’s last flight. Says coorganizer and Vice President Mark Buckner, “We have served the area we originally intended and then Guarding the veterans All World War II veterans require a traveling companion called a “Guardian,” a next-generation individual willing to escort them to D.C. and attend to the vet’s physical needs. For a donation of $350, Honor Flight provides the guardian with transportation and meals.The trip is as impressive for the guardians as for the vets.
