Honor Guard

In 2016, we began a tradition of an AFA Honor Guard in uniform to ensure the public remembers the sacrifice of Flight Attendants at our nation’s three national memorials. This Honor Guard is comprised of Flight Attendants who have all done work to honor our heroes or advance our legislative agenda to Never Forget. Any member who volunteers time on our Never Forget initiatives throughout the year may be eligible to serve in future years as a member of our AFA Honor Guard.
