AFCEA NOVA Honor Flight

Wednesday, July 23, 2025, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Join AFCEA NOVA and participate in the Dulles Honor Flight Send Off. We will cheer on our nation’s veterans before they board their plane to return home.

Since 2005, the Honor Flight Network has made it possible for more than 200,000 veterans from all services to visit Washington DC and other memorial sites from more than 130 locations across the country. The Honor Flight program brings our veterans to DC from all over the country so they can visit the memorials together and honor our fallen service members.

As a greeter for the AFCEA NOVA Honor Flight Send Off, you’ll play an important role in welcoming a group of veterans returning home from their Honor Flight trip. You will arrive at Dulles Airport a few hours before the flight lands, gathering with fellow greeters in the baggage claim area, and lining up to warmly greet and cheer for the veterans as they pass through. You’ll have the opportunity to shake hands, thank them for their service, show support, and contribute to a moving and patriotic experience. Greeters are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue—or military uniforms if applicable—and will receive a commemorative red t-shirt (while supplies last.) The send-off event typically lasts around two hours and also provides a great chance to connect and network with others in the community. This is a family-friendly event, children and other family members are welcome to join, please include them as additional people on your registration.
