Dillon is a Baton Rouge, LA native and twice a graduate of Louisiana State University.  He is a commissioned officer in the Louisiana Army National Guard where he currently serves as a Company Commander / Enlisted Strength Manager in Louisiana’s Recruiting and Retention Battalion.  Dillon deployed in 2018 in support of Operation Inherent Resolve and Operation Spartan Shield. 

Outside of his current active-duty military career, he enjoys playing golf, writing, and narrating audiobooks.  Dillon’s goal in starting Honor Flight Louisiana was to honor his grandfather, a WWII veteran, and to help Louisiana veterans fill their souls with a sense of honor and closure for their heroic and grateful service. 

Anna served as both a Guardian and Veteran for Honor Flight Louisiana before joining the board in 2023. As the Secretary, Anna is the conduit for the incredible relationships we have with our community partners, Guardian Corps, and many times has the honor of being the first to inform our Veterans they have been selected for a flight!

Originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, Anna is a Vietnam War era Veteran. She served as a Medical Administrative Specialist in the United States Air Force, ultimately achieving the rank of Sergeant.

Anna is a proud mother, and is married to Jack Sanders who also served during the Vietnam War era. She serves as President of Louisiana Women Veterans and Vice Commander of American Legion Post #38.

John initially took the role of Director of Strategy for Honor Flight Louisiana, having served as a Guardian in the 2019 flying season, but has evolved into a leader in internal and external operations. He will help our organization with corporate fundraising, event planning, and help ensure each flight continues to bring honor to Louisiana veterans.

Having worked at Marathon Petroleum for years now, John is all too familiar with the corporate world. We are excited to see his talents help our organization grow.
