Connecting Families, Bridging Miles: Supporting Military Holiday Reunions
"As we express our gratitude to our military, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them."
- John F. Kennedy
Disclosure: We use the term "veteran" to describe former service members of all branches and those currently on active duty (future veterans). We recognize, by definition, that the term "veteran" typically refers to those who have served in the past — colloquially, the term often encompasses all military members, past and present.
Our Mission
At Jets for Vets, we're driven by the mission to bring joy to the lives of active-duty service members and veterans stationed overseas. Founded and operated by active-duty Marines, our goal is simple yet powerful: to fund flights that enable these brave men and women to be with their families during the Christmas/Holiday period. We understand the sacrifices they make and are dedicated to making homecomings a reality.

How It Works: Bringing Heroes Home for the Holidays
At Jets for Vets, our mission is to make it possible for active-duty service members stationed outside the continental United States to be reunited with their families during the Christmas/Holiday period. Here's how we make it happen:
Step 1: The Power of Your Donation
Your generosity fuels our mission. Every tax deductible donation, big or small, contributes directly to funding flights for service members. With your support, we're able to provide the means for these heroes to experience the joy of being with their loved ones when it matters most.
Step 2: Identifying Recipients
We work closely with military bases and units to identify deserving service members who could benefit from our program. Our selection process prioritizes those who might face financial constraints preventing them from traveling home for the holidays.
Step 3: Coordinating Travel
Once recipients are identified, we handle all the logistics. Our dedicated team arranges flights, ensures proper documentation, and coordinates the travel details to guarantee a seamless journey for our heroes. We understand the importance of hassle-free travel, especially during such a special time of year.
Step 4: The Joyful Reunion
The moment of reunion is what it's all about. The smiles, the tears, the heartfelt embraces – your contribution makes these moments possible. Seeing service members back home, surrounded by their families, is a testament to the impact of your generosity and the power of unity.
Step 5: Making Lasting Memories
During the holiday period, service members are able to create lasting memories with their families. These moments not only boost morale and well-being but also strengthen the bonds that hold our military community together. Your support has a far-reaching impact that extends beyond the immediate experience.
Step 6: Sharing the Gratitude
We believe in transparency and accountability. After each successful homecoming, we share stories and updates on our website and social media platforms. We want you to see the direct impact of your support and the smiles you've helped create.
Step 7: Continuing the Mission
Our commitment doesn't end with one holiday season. With your continued support, we aim to expand our reach and impact, ensuring that more service members can experience the joy of reuniting with their families during the holidays.
