We are making you aware of the opportunity to greet our honored veterans other than at Dulles Airport. Not all Honor Flight hubs come by plane so that opens other opportunities for greeting the veterans. The ones who are located closer to the Washington, DC area typically come by bus. Many times the veterans are here for one or two nights, staying in a local hotel. Unlike the airport greetings, there is no big crowd of greeters when they pull up to their hotel.

Listed below are several opportunities where you can greet the veterans at their hotel. Often times, the veterans will have more time to spend chatting with you. Plus you get to help them into the hotel and possibly assist with their luggage. Individual attendance at these greetings does not require an RSVP – just show up.  IF you have a group that would like to get more involved handling luggage, unloading wheelchairs, singing, etc., there is contact information below. 

Please note that estimated arrival times may vary – with variables such as weather or traffic. Please consider participating in this unique opportunity. Should you decide to attend, bring flags, banners, balloons, signs, and smiles. Also check with the the hotel front desk for parking if you are coming with a group.

In case a hub makes changes in their hotel accommodations, it is advisable to send an email to jbrawley@honorflight.org several days in advance to confirm the hotel location and estimated arrival time.
