The City of El Paso invites the community to help give World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War Veterans a hero’s welcome as they return home from their Rio Grande Honor Flight journey to Washington, D.C.

Residents are encouraged to gather at El Paso International Airport to celebrate the veterans’ service and sacrifice and show them the gratitude they deserve.

VETERANS WELCOME
4 p.m. Saturday, September 26, 2026

The Rio Grande Honor Flight provides veterans with the opportunity to visit the national memorials built in their honor, offering a meaningful experience of reflection, remembrance, and healing.

As these Veterans return home, El Pasoans have an opportunity to come together and show them that their service and sacrifices will never be forgotten.

This celebration is free and open to the public. Families are encouraged to bring American flags, welcome-home signs, and messages of appreciation to help create a memorable homecoming for these hometown heroes.

Join us in filling the airport with cheers, gratitude, and El Paso pride as we welcome our veterans home!
