Guardian Application – Honor Flight San Diego

PLEASE NOTE: THE GUARDIAN POSITION IS A WORKING POSITION FOR THE ENTIRE WEEKEND DURING A FLIGHT

Honor Flight San Diego (HFSD) would not be successful without the generous support of our Guardians. Guardians play a significant role on every trip, ensuring that every Veteran has a safe and memorable experience.

Please note … Duties include but are not limited to: physically assisting the Veterans at the airport, during the flight, at the hotel, and at the memorials; pushing the Veteran in a wheelchair for the entire weekend if necessary; loading wheelchairs on and off the buses at each stop; assisting with the Veteran’s luggage; assisting Veterans up and down bus stairs at each stop; always maintaining Veteran safety. Guardians must be physically able to perform these duties with Veteran safety as the Guardian’s most important priority.

The spouse/significant other of a traveling Veteran is not eligible to serve as the Veteran’s guardian.

Guardians contribute toward their own travel expenses. See website for current Guardian donation.
