Mission: The Honor Flight of the Ozarks Youth Council is raising money with our inaugural “5K For Flights” run. Participating in this run offers a unique opportunity for the community to turn gratitude into action, directly funding a life-changing journey for local heroes. Many area veterans have never received a formal "thank you" for their sacrifices, and your contribution ensures they can finally experience the recognition they deserve through a trip to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials built in their honor at absolutely no cost to them. It’s a day filled with camaraderie, reflection, and gratitude. Your participation doesn't just cover travel costs—it validates their service, preserves their legacy, and ensures that as a community, we never let their contributions go uncelebrated.
