Support Capital District Patriot Flight Inc.
Honoring America’s Hometown Heroes — Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow
The continued mission of Capital District Patriot Flight Inc. depends entirely upon the ongoing generosity of patriotic individuals, local businesses, and community organizations. It is only through your financial support that our World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, post-Vietnam, and Desert Shield/Storm veterans receive their once-in-a-lifetime, all-expense-paid flight to Washington, D.C. to visit the national memorials built in their honor.
When you give, you make a tax-deductible investment in a profound experience that deeply touches the lives of those who sacrificed so much for our freedoms. All contributions directly benefit local Capital Region veterans—and every dollar stays right here in our community.
The Realities of Modern Flight Costs
In recent years, the cost of operating an Honor Flight mission has nearly doubled due to rising charter aircraft fuel, ground transportation in Washington, D.C., and event logistics.
-
$60,000 — Total cost to operate a single Patriot Flight mission.
-
$550–$600 — Average cost to send one local veteran on their all-expense-paid day of honor.
-
$50 — Provides a full day of meals, snacks, and hydration for a veteran during the mission.
Every single donation, regardless of size, helps bridge the gap to ensure no local hero ever receives a bill for their day of honor.

Freedom is still expensive
It still costs money, it still cost blood
It still calls for courage and endurance,
Not only in soldiers, but in every man and woman
Who is Free and who is determined to remain Free
