From Children to Veterans, Every Journey Matters.

I have a problem with claustrophobia and after I retired from the Army I told myself that I would never fly again. With Mercy Medical Angels, it made my fear of flying melt away. The airline and flight crews made me feel like I was someone special.

I have multiple mental health conditions. My anxiety and trauma make it impossible for me to drive long distances. The volunteer pilots, the staff, and everyone else at Mercy Medical Angels are lovely, kind, and amazing people.

After 5 deployments to the Middle East, I received my Purple Heart in Afghanistan. I was going through a divorce and very much needing to attend this function with other Veterans. You all played a vital role in my healing process. The retreat was invaluable.
