Veterans

At Deauville-Normandie Airport, Delta’s Airport Customer Service and TechOps teams build a temporary operation from the ground up to support the Normandy Legacy Flight.

Delta proudly continues its Normandy Legacy Flight, a program that brings World War II veterans and students back to Normandy, France, on June 3 to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

This year marks the 14th year of the two-day Veterans Day Celebration, which is hosted at Delta TechOps and brings together employees, families and friends to recognize the more than 12% of our workforce who are veterans.  

For the 11th year, Delta will match donations up to an aggregate total of 10 million miles donated to the Fisher House Foundation and Luke's Wings through SkyWish, the charitable arm of the SkyMiles Program.  

At a ceremony held at the Delta Flight Museum this week, Virginie received the French Legion of Honor — France’s highest distinction — for her role in launching Delta’s Normandy Legacy Flight.

Delta is proud to continue its Normandy Legacy Flight, supporting the program that flies World War II veterans and students back to Normandy, France to commemorate the anniversary of D-Day.
