The Panoramaland Fund

The Panoramaland Resource and Conservation Development and the Panoramaland Fund at the Community Foundation of Utah are pleased to announce that they are partnering to provide a unique experience for veterans: Honor Flight Network, a memorable, safe, and rewarding Tour of Honor of Washington DC.

Panoramaland Honor Flight of Utah,  the only local hub of the Honor Flight National program (http://www.honorflight.org), will transport Utah’s veterans to Washington, D.C. on a three day trip to visit memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices.  Top priority is given to America’s most senior heroes — veterans of World War II and those with terminal illnesses who wish to visit their memorial. All men and women born in Utah serving stateside or overseas are eligible to participate through the Utah hub.

Our World War II vets are dying at a rate of just over 600 a day. Only 1.2 million veterans remain of the 16 million who served our nation. Most have never seen the beautiful memorial built in their honor on the Nation’s Mall. There is no greater feeling that seeing the smiles – and tears – on these heroes faces, and to know we have given them a powerful and healing gift.

One flight has already taken off and the waitign list grows every day.

Each trip is estimated to cost $700 per person, provided solely through donations from the public.  The Vets are joined by leaders, medical staff and guardians who cover their own expenses.
