The program is open to students whose parent or grandparent have served, or on active duty in the U.S. military and achieved the rank of E5 or above. This program is only open to Florida residents.

Honor Flight Guardian Program
As a way of saying thank you for their service, Honor Flight takes older veterans for a day trip to Washington, DC to see the National Veteran's Memorial. Each veteran is required to have a guardian for the day. MFS covers the guardian's cost, including the flight from Tampa. We have sponsored approximately 50+ guardians.
