North Bay Honor Flight
North Bay Honor Flight is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a member of the National Honor Flight Network. Established in 2023, North Bay Honor Flight (NBHF) serves more than 52,500 veterans from the Northern California counties of Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Mendocino, Lake, Humboldt, Del Norte, and Trinity. Together with our Northern and Central California sister hubs: Fresno, Central Valley, Bay Area, and Kern we have the potential to positively impact more than 510,000 veterans residing in these counties.1
North Bay Honor Flight's Mission is Two-Fold:
One of recognition, to provide a long-overdue "Welcome Home" to veterans in Northern California counties who served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam eras, ensuring their sacrifices are never forgotten.
One of gratitude, for veterans' service, sacrifice, and selflessness.We proudly celebrate America's veterans with a Tour of Honor at our nation's capital.
