    The Honorable Deb Haaland


    Secretary
    U.S. Department of the Interior
    1849 C Street, N.W.
    Washington, D.C. 20240

    Dear Secretary Haaland,

    We write to urgently request that the Department of the Interior (DOI) provide the Honor Flight Network with
    the National Park Service’s United States Park Police (USPP) vehicular escort services granted in previous
    years. Our brave veterans have made tremendous sacrifices to secure the freedoms we enjoy today. As a nation,
    we owe it to our heroes to give them the utmost honor and privilege that they deserve on their Honor Flight to
    Washington, D.C.

    Since its founding, the Honor Flight Network has taken more than 245,000 World War II, Korean War, Vietnam
    War, and terminally ill veterans on an all-expense paid trip to visit our nation’s capital. 1 Veterans visit – many
    for the first time – the very war memorials dedicated to their service to our country. During these trips, veterans
    share memories and accounts from their time in service, pay tribute to their lost comrades, and build important
    bonds with fellow participants. Honor Flights Hubs meticulously plan these experiences to further the Honor
    Flight Network’s vision of a country where “all of America’s veterans experience the honor, gratitude, and
    community of support they deserve.”2

    In order to accomplish this worthy vision, it is imperative that DOI provide USPP vehicular escort services to
    Honor Flight Hubs slated to arrive this spring. The escort services play a critical logistical role in ensuring these
    once-in-a-lifetime opportunities run smoothly and safely as Hubs navigate the busy National Mall. It is
    imperative that veterans – particularly those with physical disabilities – have the necessary parking access to
    ensure ease of entry to each war memorial to get the full experience they have earned. As a country, we have
    asked much of our men and women in uniform. Time and again, they answered the call. We request that you
    grant Honor Flight Hubs the necessary vehicular escorts our veterans have clearly earned.

    We appreciate your attention to this important matter and look forward to your response.

    Sincerely,

    __________________ __________________ __________________
