29th Midwest Honor Flight “Welcome Home”
Tuesday, May 5th, 2026
Sioux Falls Regional Airport
The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to stand flag line for Midwest Honor Flight, Mission 29, that is Sponsered this flight by Lyon County Riverboat Foundation. This will be the first of three flights scheduled for this Spring of 2026. The Veterans being honored on this flight will tour areas of the Nations Capitol and many of the Veterans’ Memorials in Washington D.C. and then will be returning the evening of Tuesday, May 5th to the Sioux Falls Regional Airport, with a scheduled time for arrival of 9:00 PM.
As those that attended the previous “Welcome Home” events know, we will continue to gather at the Cell Phone Lot as we have been doing in the past and the parking for us,at the terminal, will still be in the parking lot by the hotel. The ticketing area and Lobby will now be the Welcome Home Area for the Honor Flight Veterans. We have been asked to stand, with U.S. Flags, in flag lines that will be in designated areas on both the upper level and on the lobby floor by the stairs and the elevator.
We have had many “Thank You’s” and positive comments for what we do. I hope that we can carry on this wonderful support and honor that we do for our Veterans. I know that what we have done over the years has been one of the memorable parts of each our Heroes’ journey, thanks to all of you. Our presence for the flag line is always one of the highlights of the Honor Flight for the veterans. Please come if you can.
The upcoming Scheduled flights for this Spring are: Mission 30, May 19th, 2026 & Mission 31, June 2nd, 2026.
