As part of Cornerstone Caregiving’s mission to give back not only to our clients, but also to our community, we annually host a fundraiser supporting a Veteran organization. This year, we’re getting more people involved in the fun by hosting a Golf Scramble! All proceeds will go towards Honor Flight Cleveland (flight location). It is the task and purpose of Honor Flight Cleveland to pay tribute to U.S. veterans who served our country by providing them a safe and memorable all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to visit the memorials honoring their service.

While on these trips, stories have been shared, tears have been shed, new relationships have been forged, and lasting memories have been made. Veterans’ lives have been forever enriched by complete strangers who approach them throughout the excursion to express gratitude for the many freedoms we enjoy because of their sacrifices.

From 2007 to 2019, more than 3,570 U.S. veterans, the majority from World War II, have benefited from an Honor Flight Cleveland excursion. The extraordinary feat of providing this service has been accomplished solely by volunteers, donating more than 136,000 hours to this important cause. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, no flights took place in 2020 and 2021. Flights resumed in May of 2022.

Some of the highlights of the Honor Flight Cleveland experience include: the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Reflecting Pool, the Air Force Memorial, the Marine Memorial-Iwo Jima, and Arlington National Cemetery, including witnessing the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb.

Up to nine flights are scheduled annually. Priority is given to World War II & Korean war veterans, however, terminally ill U.S. veterans who served at any time are also given preferential treatment and assigned to a flight as soon as a seat is available.
