HFC - Mission 146 - Welcome Home!

On Thursday morning, October 16, 2025, 80 senior Veterans will be staging to launch Mission 146. At 6:45am, an Avelo Airlines charter jet with 143 plus crew aboard will depart for Washington DC and the Memorials. This mission is sponsored by the Ragan & McNamara Families.

That evening, please join us as we deliver an appropriately raucous and patriotic WELCOME HOME to Mission 146 estimated arrival time of arrival at 9:15pm. Help us show these men and women what an expression of our nation's gratitude for the sacrifices that they have given to protect and defend our freedom looks and feels like.
