Ninety-Seven-Year-Old Veteran’s Honor Flight Journey

Ninety-seven-year-old Korean War veteran John Carlstrom embarked on a life-changing Honor Flight trip to Washington D.C., where he witnessed the Changing of the Guard and the Korean War Memorial — moments he called “a wonderful honor” for those who sacrificed everything. This wasn’t his first spotlight moment — earlier this year, students raised funds to make the trip possible, and his daughter greeted him upon return, knowing how deeply it meant to him. Carlstrom urges other veterans to join, praising Honor Flight Southern Arizona for its seamless coordination and free trips made possible by generous donors. The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona is matching the first $500 in donations — a powerful way to honor heroes and ensure more veterans can experience this unforgettable journey.
