GUARDIAN APPLICATION

Honor Flight Kern County (HFKC) relies on the generous support and assistance of our Guardians who help to ensure that every veteran has a safe and memorable experience in Washington DC and after the flight.
Guardians duties include, but are not limited to:
Physically assisting the veterans while walking or pushing transport chairs, throughout the airports and airplane flights, as well as at the hotel and memorials.

Each Guardian pays their own fee of $1,200 (subject to change) which includes all travel expenses of airfare, hotel, meals, tour buses & tips, admission fees, as well as three RED HFKC shirts, overnight & snack bags.
Souvenir purchases are not included.
Guardian fee payment is due 14 days prior to flight or at Meet & Greet, whichever occurs earliest.
Each applicant may be subject to an interview, as well as a Live Scan review.
Participating as a Guardian is physically strenuous as there is much walking (up to 7 miles per day), carrying the Veteran bags, pushing a veteran in the transport chair up mild inclines, and loading bags and chairs in buses.
Please be aware of the physical demands BEFORE submitting your application.

Please note:
Spouses of veterans, companions, or siblings are not eligible to be Guardians.
