Over 60 years ago a remarkable generation of Americans joined forces to protect civilization in the largest war in world history.No amount of gratitude could ever repay the debt for the gift of democracy these veterans gave the world. However, HonorAir Knoxville is dedicated to honoring East Tennessee World War II veterans and the sacrifices they made to ensure our freedoms.

HonorAir Knoxville is presented by Prestige Cleaners in partnership with the Rotary Foundation of Knoxville and sponsered by Covenant Health and Home Federal Bank of Tennessee. HonorAir Knoxville's goal is to fly as many East Tennessee World War II veterans as possible to Washington D.C. to see the World War II Memorial built in their honor. Currently, we are only accepting WWII veterans from Knox, Anderson, and Blount counties. There is a narrow window of opportunity to accomplish this task. According to the Department of Veterans Affair:

• Sixteen million Americans served in World War II.
• There are approximately a little more than 3 million veterans alive.
• Every day we lose approximately 1,200 World War II veterans.
• In another five to ten years almost all World War II veterans will be gone.
