Honor Flight Arizona is transforming how veterans are celebrated, offering all-expenses-paid trips to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials dedicated to their service. In this episode, we talk with Karen Keogh-Friddle, a board member with over a decade of experience, about the profound impact of these trips on veterans from WWII, the Korean War, and Vietnam. From heartfelt airport welcomes to deeply emotional moments at the memorials, these three-day journeys are life-changing for veterans and their guardians alike.
We’ll explore the challenges Honor Flight Arizona faces, including funding, volunteer support, and a waitlist of 1,200 veterans, as well as the incredible opportunities for community members to make a difference.
