Estrella Warbirds Museum

THE HONOR

This honorarium offers an opportunity for Americans to recognize not only our military veterans, but also the men and women presently serving our country. Honors will be recognized for all veterans and service personnel, from the War of Independence to the present, and in all branches of service. In addition to honoring those who have served and are serving our country, the memorial will serve as a reminder that our freedom and way of life have not been preserved without sacrifice.

The honor is prominently located in the reception area of the Estrella Warbird Museum's recently constructed Freedom Hall. Freedom Flight Honors are offered for a donation of $100 or more, and are tax deductible to the extent provided by law. The honor plate includes the veteran's or service person's name, rank, branch of service, and years served.

SUBSCRIBER BENEFITS

In addition to the Honor Plate which will be be attached to theFreedom Flight Display board, each donor will be receipted for a memorial donation, complete a membership application and be granted a complimentary, temporary one year membership, name badge and Freedom Flight pin and be added to the monthly newsletter mailing list. You will be mailed a membership renewal at usual dues time. Your "Honorarium" will be recorded in a permanent ledger for future Museum visitors to view.

In addition, your "Honor" will be listed on the Freedom Flight Veterans Memorial listing below.
