Honor Flights are BACK!
Representing the Clemson Family while welcoming South Carolina veterans to Washington, D.C., on an Honor Flight is both a privilege and a humbling experience. As these American heroes arrive, Club volunteers proudly greet them with enthusiastic applause, warm smiles, handshakes, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude for their service and sacrifice. For many veterans, this welcome is a meaningful recognition that may have been missing when they returned home from military service. It is an emotional reminder that their courage, commitment, and dedication to our nation have not been forgotten. Standing alongside fellow volunteers to honor these remarkable men and women reflects the Clemson spirit of service and provides an unforgettable opportunity to thank those who have given so much to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.
Greeters must plan for arrival at DCA no later than 7:45am to allow for parking, walking to the group meeting point and passing through security. The group meeting point will be in front of The Café at DCA North, just outside the North Security Checkpoint.
Please note that registration for this event will close on Sunday, September 13th to allow time for processing the Gate Access Passes.
*** Please read the FAQs on the registration page carefully. ***
