Operation Education
At Honor Flight Chicago, not only do we honor and thank our senior war heroes, but we also inspire future generations by sharing the stories of our veterans and demonstrating the power of gratitude and respect.
One of the most impactful and enjoyable ways we do that is through Operation Education. Our team of educators have curated a variety of resources available for you to use in your school community. Explore the links to the left to learn more.

Mr. Richey is a co-founder of Operation Education and his leadership helped grow it from a few teachers to the network that it is now. As a veteran, he knows firsthand the importance of thanking a veteran and sharing their stories. He strives daily to connect students to the important stories that are right in their backyards or even standing in front of them in the classroom. Mr. Richey also sits on the Board of Honor Flight Chicago helping ensure that veterans continue to get their day of honor.
