Before submitting an application, please read through the requirements below:
- I am an applicant in good physical condition, capable of providing for a veteran and I am between the age of 18 and 70.
- I understand that spouses or significant others of veterans cannot be guardians to the veteran.
If chosen, I understand I am required to donate $1,000 to cover my travel expenses and that the donation is tax-deductible. It is “all-inclusive”, covering airfare, hotel, meals, bus tours, travel gear, and snacks. - I understand the fee is my responsibility and is due one month prior to the flight date assigned.
- I understand that submitting an application is not a guarantee of guardianship, even if I have applied to fly with a veteran family member or veteran friend and meet the eligibility requirements.
- I understand once assigned to a mission, I must take a mandatory guardian training class to understand the role and responsibilities.
