Copied from Land of Lincoln Honor Flight:
Attention All Veterans and Guardians....
The Honor Flight Network announced that its mandatory suspension of all trips will remain in place until at least August 15, 2021. Once trips resume, among other mandatory COVID-related safety measures, all Honor Flight participants will be required to be vaccinated to participate in an Honor Flight trip in 2021. This includes veterans, guardians and staff. In order for a participant to be considered vaccinated for this purpose, the individual must provide proof that they have received either the single dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine at least 28 days prior to the travel date or the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines at least 2 weeks prior to the travel date. We want to make sure the Veterans and Guardians on our wait list have sufficient time to be vaccinated and are ready to fly when the suspension is lifted. Honor Flight is implementing these requirements for the health and safety of all participants.

On Monday, May 31 at 9 a.m. we are holding a Memorial Day Wreath Laying Ceremony on the front lawn of the Illinois State Capitol. We would love to have American Legion Post 32 well represented at this ceremony honoring the men and women who gave their lives in service protecting our nation’s freedom. Could you please circulate the below invitation to your members. For your convenience, we have also attached the invitation. If you have any questions, please call Jonathan Hupp at (217) 816-4466.
