Legacy of Honor: A Night in the Hangar – June 6, 2026 | Pocatello, ID

Flyer for Legacy of Honor: A Night in the Hangar, a WWII-era themed fundraiser dinner hosted by Idaho Honor Flight on Saturday June 6 2026 from 5:30 to 10:30 PM at the AVCenter at Pocatello Airport, featuring live music, dinner, guest speakers, and dancing to support sending Idaho veterans to Washington D.C.

This D-Day, June 6, 2026, you’re invited to step into history for a truly unforgettable evening. Legacy of Honor: A Night in the Hangar is a WWII-era themed fundraiser hosted by Idaho Honor Flight — and it promises to be one of the most meaningful veteran events of the year in eastern Idaho.

The event takes place at the AVCenter at Pocatello Airport from 5:30 PM to 10:30 PM, and every ticket purchased helps send Idaho veterans to Washington, D.C., to see the memorials built in their honor.


What Is Idaho Honor Flight?

Idaho Honor Flight is part of the national Honor Flight Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transporting America’s veterans — at no cost to them — to Washington, D.C., to visit and reflect at the memorials that honor their service and sacrifice.

For many veterans, especially older WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam era veterans, this trip is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They walk the grounds of the National World War II Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, and others — often for the very first time. Many come home changed. Many call it the greatest day of their lives.

Idaho Honor Flight makes that possible for veterans right here in eastern Idaho.


About the Event

Legacy of Honor: A Night in the Hangar is a WWII-era themed evening designed to celebrate, remember, and support Idaho’s veterans. Held on the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, the setting and the spirit of the night are deeply intentional.

The evening will include:

  • Mix & Mingle Reception — Connect with fellow veterans, community members, and supporters
  • Short Program Featuring Guest Speakers — Hear directly from eastern Idaho veterans who have flown on an Honor Flight mission, sharing their experiences in their own words
  • Dinner — A full dinner served in the hangar
  • Raffle & Dancing
  • Live Music & Great Company

It is an evening of community, purpose, and patriotism — and a chance to be part of something genuinely meaningful.


Ticket Information

Tickets are available now at zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/legacy-of-honor or by contacting Idaho Honor Flight directly at events@idahohonorflight.org.

  • Single Ticket: $75
  • Couple: $120
  • Reserved Table for 6: $500 — includes name/logo in the event program
  • Sponsorship Table for 6: $1,000 — includes reserved table, name/logo in the program and on the Idaho Honor Flight website, and acknowledgement during the program

Whether you attend as an individual, bring a date, or sponsor a table for your business or organization, every dollar goes directly toward funding Honor Flight missions for Idaho veterans.


Why This Night Matters

On June 6, 1944, thousands of young Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy. Many of them were from small towns just like the ones across Idaho. They were farmers, mechanics, students, and sons — and they changed the course of history.

Eighty-two years later, some of those veterans — and the Korean War and Vietnam veterans who followed them — are still with us. They are in their 80s, 90s, and beyond. Time is precious, and the window to honor them in person is narrowing.

The Idaho Honor Flight mission is urgent. Every flight sends veterans on a journey of recognition and healing that many say they never expected to need — and never expected to mean so much.

Your ticket to Legacy of Honor is more than an evening out. It is a direct investment in making sure Idaho’s veterans know their service was seen, their sacrifice was real, and their country remembers.
