Honor Flight of Southeastern North Carolina is a non-profit program operated entirely by volunteers. The Wilmington NC headquarters is affiliated with the national Honor Flight Network and serves veterans of Southeastern North Carolina and surrounding areas. Area veterans are flown at no cost to Washington DC to see the World War II memorial, which was completed in 2004, as well as other nearby monuments. They will be assisted by guardians who can help with mobility or medical needs.
Honor Flight Southeastern North Carolina's Inaugural flight is April 13, 2010. The priority is World War II veterans, however they are always willing to consider applications from terminally ill veterans of any war. Realtors will have the opportunity to greet the veterans at the ILM airport at 7 pm as they return from their trip to the World War II Memorial.

We appreciate the sacrafices of all these veterans.
