Don’t forget to tune in to CBS at 8 p.m. for tonight’s Honor Flight-inspired episode of NCIS!
It will come as no surprise to anyone who’s ever watched the popular TV series that the show’s plot revolves around an obligatory, edge-of-your-seat murder for the NCIS team to solve. Beyond that obviously fictional storyline, however, we have been assured the episode paints a compellingly realistic picture of the overwhelming emotional catharsis and renewed sense of pride and purpose so many of our senior-most veterans experience in visiting their national war memorials with North County Honor Flight.
It is a huge testament to the life-changing impact of Honor Flight’s mission that NCIS writer Gina Lucita Monreal was inspired to create the episode based on the rejuvenation she saw in her own grandfather-in-law after his honor flight.
The airing of tonight’s NCIS episode will carry Honor Flight into an unprecedented number of households across the country. It is our goal to use this heightened awareness as a catalyst for reaching local veterans who’ve yet to fly with North Country Honor Flight, encouraging the crucial financial and volunteer support needed to further our mission, and forging new relationships that will enable us to honor veterans now and long into the future.

Thank you for your support in encouraging your friends, family, business associates and community connections to tune in to this special episode of NCIS!
