HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
Veteran applications are taken in the order they are submitted, the order of war/conflict they served and medical situations such as being terminal. Example: A Vietnam Veteran or later could submit an application and they would be entered into our database, however as Korean, Cold War or World War II applications continue to come in, they will be placed ahead based on their war/conflict time frame. Veterans of Vietnam and later should consider applying now and getting into our database, however it could be several years before your turn arrives. We ask for your patience and understanding.
We will take applications all year long and add our veterans to our waiting list.
Your application is entered into our list based primarily on the date it was received and then based on the dates you served.
If you (the Veteran) have a health condition that deteriorates and would require a doctors determination of terminal or similar status, please contact our offices immediately so our medical team can provide an updated medical evaluation.
GUARDIAN ELIGIBILITY
There are specific physical requirements throughout the day required of a guardian. Assisting with wheelchairs, the ability to pick up at least 75lbs. of dead weight (should a fallen Veteran need assistance into a wheelchair), the ability to push a Veteran all day in a wheelchair. There is also a required guardian donation you’ll be asked to make when we call you to confirm you for your trip. PLEASE NOTE – spouses and significant others are not eligible to be guardians. Guardians should be a generation younger than the Veteran with no physical limitations that could prohibit you from performing the required duties of a guardian.
