Honor Flight Twin Cities’ Mission is to transport Minnesota and Western Wisconsin Veterans to Washington DC to visit those memorials dedicated to honor the service and sacrifices of themselves and their friends.  Since 2008 Honor Flight Twin Cities has completed 21 Charter flights with Sun Country Airline to Washington DC.  There have been 1,800 Veterans and 1,700 Guardians who have participated on this emotional, physical and spiritual one-day mission.  There are 250 Veterans on the waiting list. Jerry and Jana have 2 adult children and 5 grandchildren.

In the process of serving their American Heroes,  they have found deeper love for each other, stronger  faith as well as healing for their own deep wounds from the Vietnam war.
