Flag City Honor Flight announces schedule

FINDLAY — Flag City Honor Flight has announced its 2026 schedule with flights on April 14, June 9 and Sept. 15. Priority will be given to terminally ill veterans, followed by others in the order their applications were received. Eligibility includes those who served from World War II through the Vietnam War. To encourage public involvement, each flight will have its own media release with details inviting the community to welcome veterans home. The 2026 flights will depart from the Eugene F. Kranz Toledo Express Airport. The organization also has new leadership. Will Miller has been named president, succeeding Steve Schult. Miller has been a board member since 2012 and has been part of every flight FCHF has taken. His previous roles have included vice president and media director. "I am excited to move into the leadership role of this great organization," he said. "Getting a chance to thank and honor these veterans has been the single greatest highlight of my life. I look forward to moving this organization into the future and to impact as many veterans' lives as we can." Miller also thanked Schult for his years of service to FCHF and its veterans. "His leadership has taken this organization to new levels and has guided us to unbelievable success," he said. Schult plans to continue to volunteer for FCHF at the welcome home events. FCHF has created a package to promote corporate and personal flight sponsorships. Community members are invited to donate via the website or by check. Individuals or groups interested in volunteering at welcome home celebrations or hosting third-party fundraisers can connect with the organization throughout the year. Flag City Honor Flight, Inc. is a 100% volunteer-run 501c3 organization dedicated to providing veterans in Northwest Ohio and surrounding areas with the opportunity to visit their war memorials in Washington, D.C., at no cost. Supported by charitable donations, these annual flights honor America's heroes and their sacrifices for our nation's freedom. FCHF serves veterans from World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War eras.
