Join us as we salute our Veterans at the SD State Fair!  This year's keynote speaker is Elsie Van Beek.

Elsie Honors is a young lady with big dreams. Since August 2017, our Patriotic Princess has had the privilege of meeting over 1,300 of our Veterans to say Thank You. She gives each a special personalized dog tag to commemorate their specific flight when they return to Sioux Falls.  She wanted to pay it even further and sponsored a flight at the "Medal of Honor Flight" level of $50,000.  Now, since she has surpassed this goal, she wants to go for $75,000 to cover all 84 Veterans on flight.  "Please help me rewrite this final chapter of their lives. Our American Veterans deserve nothing less. Equal priority is given to any terminally ill veteran who has never visited their Memorials," says Elsie. If America thought it was important to build a memorial to their service and sacrifice, Midwest Honor Flight believes it’s important for them to visit their memorial before it’s too late.
