We are an all volunteer, local community group whose mission is to provide our remaining veterans the chance to personally visit the Memorials that were built to recognize their sacrifice to our Nation.
Only a fraction of our “Humble Heroes” ever get to visit the memorials in Washington DC. The veterans who fought the Korean War (the “Forgotton War”) or the Vietnam Vets who’s treatment today must touch our souls, we will not forget you. Currently our priority and focus is the dwindling group of World Ward II Veterans.
We believe every veteran is entitled to this trip of Honor. The right to a “thank you and welcome home” most have not yet received.
Please also remember, Capital District Patriot Flight Mission is so much more than Honoring our Veterans twice a year in Washington DC, We Honor our Veterans All Year Long with weekly TGIV veterans breakfasts at the Gateway and Schodack Diners, trips to the Purple Heart Museum, D-DAY reenactments at Conneaut, Ohio to name a couple and numerous parades with Uncle Sam. 2019 we are kicking off at local Libraries listening to Veterans speak and reflect on their service
Flying to DC is our mission, honoring the Veteran is our passion.
Veterans are Always in Our Hearts
We are Forever Grateful
You are Never Forgotten
God Bless America
