South Area Fire District is committed to giving back to the communities in which we live and giving to those who have sacrificed to keep our country and community safe and give countless hours to help others. We are proud to raise money this year for the heros of the Never Forgotten Honor Flight and for our local Salvation Army.
Never Forgotten Honor Flight
Welcome to Never Forgotten Honor Flight! Our mission is to provide a special kind of honor for the sacrifices of America's veterans. We fly our heroes to Washington D.C. to visit their memorials. Top priority is given to senior veterans – World War II survivors. The veterans do not pay for this activity – it is absolutely free. We are an affiliate of the Honor Flight Network, a group which began operations in 2005. Our hope is to raise enough money to launch four flights a year to Washington, until all WWII veterans have had the opportunity. We plan to honor Korean War and other veterans in similar fashion in the future.
