Über uns
Luke’s Wings is a 501(c)3 military nonprofit dedicated to the support of wounded, ill, and injured service members by providing families with the means to visit during their recovery and rehabilitation through the gift of flight. Luke’s Wings becomes a vital resource for emergency and long-term travel needs; providing over 13,000 flights to date. Unlike other organizations, we do not place a limitation on the number of flights provided to each family nor on the relationship of those traveling. Furthermore, we pride ourselves on quick response time and flexibility, ensuring families can be together for every surgery, emergency, birthday, holiday or time of need. In 2008, Sarah Wingfield met Luke Shirley, a wounded service member, at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Like many, Luke was taken to a hospital that would best suit his recovery needs, not the geographical location of his loved ones; leaving him alone for most of his recovery process. The Wounded Warrior Transportation Assistance Program was born from that very conversation and continues to grow and support families in need of not only travel assistance but of the emotional and physical support that comes with loved ones being present during the recovery process.

We’re thrilled to share the heartwarming story of US Army Staff Sergeant James Pierce (Ret.) and his wife, Mitzyn Pierce. James, who served over 14 years in the North Carolina National Guard, was injured in a suicide bomber attack in Afghanistan in 2012. After three years of recovery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a park ranger with the National Park Service. At Luke's Wings, our mission is to support wounded warriors, and sometimes that mission leads to beautiful connections. James and Mitzyn met through our organization when they were introduced by a Luke's Wings employee in August 2013. Their connection blossomed into a loving relationship over three years. During our third annual Heroes Walk to Fly event, James surprised everyone by inviting Mitzyn on stage, sharing their love story, and proposing. Luke's Wings even flew in their families to witness this special moment. In all our experiences working with James, he says the best medicine was flying him home to be with his family and friends when he needed them the most. We’re honored to call James a friend and the Chairman of our Board and grateful to support incredible heroes like him. #LoveInAction #HeroesWalkToFly #VeteranLove #LukesWings #WoundedWarrior #ProposalStory
