Craig Van Doren
Chairman and Co-Founder of Honor Flight Southland Craig Van Doren, born in Inglewood, California in 1951, is a 4th generation Californian. Both of his parents, George and Betty, met and served in the Navy during World War II. Getting married after the war, they settled in Los Angeles to raise Craig and his brother, Kirk, who served in the Air Force during the Vietnam era. Honor Flight Southland’s mission is to safely transport American Veterans, at no cost to them, to Washington, D.C. to be honored at the memorials built in their honor. During 2013, Craig became associated with the San Diego Honor Flight hub. He had the privilege and honor to act as Guardian for three different WWII veterans on trips back to Washington, D.C. After prompting from both the National Honor Flight Network Chairman and the San Diego Honor Flight Chairman, Craig, along with two other experienced Honor Flight Travelers, decided to officially launch Honor Flight Southland in April, 2014, representing Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Orange Counties. Realizing these counties had been under-represented for so long, they have been energetically working to raise funds, establish lists of veterans and provide those veterans with the Tour of Honor they deserve. Since their initial flight in 2015, Craig and his co-founders have taken 371 of our most senior veterans, at no cost to them, on “missions” to D.C. to be honored at the memorials built in their honor. Time is of the essence! This month’s meeting is our Annual Veterans Day Celebration as we honor the memory of those who served
our great nation and offer a heartfelt thank you to those who have served or are currently serving to protect our priceless freedom. You are encouraged to invite a veteran or an active duty serviceman or woman to receive personal recognition and then purchase their luncheon as an additional treat! |
