The Western North Dakota Honor Flight has announced the dates of its upcoming flight from Minot as Sunday, April 27, to Monday, April 28.

“We are deeply honored to bring our sixth flight to Minot, marking a significant milestone for our region and for the veterans who have selflessly served our country,” said Western North Dakota Honor Flight Board President Dennis Burdolski said in a news release. “The Western North Dakota Honor Flight is a powerful reminder of the gratitude and respect we owe to those who have sacrificed so much.”

Western North Dakota Honor Flight board members will soon begin notifying veterans slated to fly on this upcoming flight, according to the release. There are plans in development to make available a virtual “flight” to veterans who may be unable to travel. Additionally, the board is making plans for flight seven, slated for early fall 2025.

This experience is provided at no cost to the veteran. All the funds raised for the flight have been generously donated by businesses, service organizations, fundraising events and personal donations from individuals across western North Dakota.

Honor Flight is a national, nonprofit organization whose mission is to celebrate America’s veterans by inviting them to share in a day of honor at our nation’s memorials. Combined, the 128 hubs have taken more than 300,000 military veterans to see the national war memorials.
