Veterans Network Committee of Northern Illinois would not be successful without the generous support of our guardians. Guardians play a vital role on every trip, ensuring that each Veteran has a safe and memorable experience. Duties include, but are not limited to, physically assisting the Veterans at the airport, during the flight and at the memorials.

Important notes:
· As a guardian, you must agree to donate $2,000.00 as determined by the Veteran Network Committee Board of Directors or find a sponsoring organization to donate this on behalf of you and your Veteran. This donation is due by July 1st. Your donation is tax-deductible as the Veteran Network Committee is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. If you cannot make this time line please reach out for other accommodations.
· Guardians must able to provide a recent physical showing you are in good health, and be approved by the Veteran Network Committee Board of Directors. Spouses, domestic partners, or significant others of Veterans are not eligible to serve as their assigned guardians. Guardians must be 65 years or younger.
· Once you are assigned to our trip, you must attend a mandatory guardian training course to understand the role and responsibilities. Currently, only in-person training is available.

Thank you for supporting our Veterans!
