This historic flight of all U.S. Navy Special Warfare Operators is a first in the 19-year history of the Honor Flight Network. San Diego and Coronado specifically, have always been home to the West Coast Navy SEAL Teams, the Underwater Demolition Teams, and supporting special boat crewmen. 

The Operators experienced dangerous missions in the jungles and rivers of Vietnam; as a result, 55 U.S. Navy Special Warfare Operators were killed in action or training during the Vietnam War. The Veterans going on this flight received many of our Nation’s highest combat medals with valor – including three SEALs who received the Medal of Honor. Medal of Honor recipient Michael Thorton will be one of the veterans on this flight.
During the three-day trip, the veterans will visit the memorials built for their service and sacrifice. The trip is 100% donor funded and the veterans travel at no cost to them. For more information, go to: www.honorflightsandiego.org
