Southeast Florida Honor Flight’s mission is to fly local WWII, Korean & Vietnam War veterans to Washington, DC to visit the memorials built to honor their service and sacrifices. An Honor Flight is a day honoring local veterans with the appreciation, honor and welcome home most never received. Southeast Florida Honor Flight is a 501c3, 100% volunteer organization based in Stuart, FL, serving Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach and Okeechobee counties. All funds raised go to supporting four Honor Flights per year and to ensure that every veteran flies absolutely free of charge.

The mission of the POW-MIA-OREE is to show respect to veterans and their families, for the sacrifices made supporting the American way of life. POW-MIA-OREE annually live reads the names of the veterans interred in our National Cemeteries and places a Custom Challenge Coin on the headstones of those interred for their families (as a keepsake) in support of National POW-MIA Remembrance Day because “No Soldier Should Ever Be Forgotten”. POW-MIA-OREE, Corp. is a registered 501c3 organization based in Palm Beach, FL, that covers most of the National Cemeteries in the state of Florida, with eyes on covering the nation. All funds raised support the annual live reading service events and the growth of the program to every National Cemetery, with the goal that one day, “No Soldier Will Ever Be Forgotten”.

Both organizations are eager to get back to honoring veterans after their 2020 and Spring 2021 events were canceled due to the Covid-19 virus. The next scheduled Honor Flights for Southeast Florida Honor Flight out of PBIA will be in the Fall of 2021—dates to be determined. The next scheduled POW-MIA-OREE event is scheduled for Sept. 11, 2021 at the South Florida National Cemetery.
