Honor Flight in Wisconsin
There are now four Honor Flight hubs in Wisconsin that our WWII heroes can fly with to see their memorial at no cost.
Please support these efforts in your areas in what ever way possible. (Volunteer, get word out to WWII veterans, donations, guardians, welcome home)
Milwaukee area... Milwaukee
Lacrosse area... LaCrosse
Madison area... Madison
Fox Valley (Appleton/Green Bay) area... Green Bay
We don't have much time to accomplish the mission with 1000 WWII veterans dying a day nation wide.
Please pass this information on to others in the state.
Please help!
The Madison area chapter of the National Honor Flight has recently activated their website at Link
Badger Honor Flight
Comrades-in-Arms and Fellow South-Central Wisconsinites,
In case you haven't heard, we have established a branch of National Honor Flight Network here in Madison; it has been named Badger Honor Flight. The mission will be to raise funds to fly World War II veterans and teminally-ill veterans to Washington D.C. to visit "their" memorials.
The first official meeting took place this past Monday at 6:00 pm at the VFW Post 1318 on Lakeside St. where the articles of incorporation were reviewed and revised for submission, the bylaws were reviewed and revised for approval by the organization, and the first officers of the organization were elected by the body. The application for 501(c)3 Tax Exempt status has also been submitted and is awaiting approval. We are also working on graphics and a webpage that will be published once all incorporation and tax exempt paperwork has been approved.
Applications for veterans, guardians and volunteers will be available when the website is published.
The newly elected President Jeff Unger and First Vice President Ray Perez were chosen by the body to lead our effort.
Our goal is to have our first flight sometime this fall; we must raise approximately $70,000 to make that happen. Volunteers will be needed to pull this off. We will also need prospective donors and endowers to contribute funds.
If you are interested in contributing to our effort in any fashion,please contact Jeff: jeffrey.unger1@us.army.mil

Honor Flight recognizes American veterans for your sacrifices and achievements by flying you to Washington, D.C. to see YOUR memorial at no cost. Top priority (for which we are currently accepting application only) is given to WWII and terminally-ill veterans from all wars. In the future, Honor Flight will be expanded to include Korea War and Vietnam War veterans. In order for Honor Flight to achieve this goal, guardians fly with the veterans on every flight providing assistance and helping veterans have a safe, memorable and rewarding experience. For what you and your comrades have given to us, please consider this a small token of appreciation from all of us at Honor Flight.
Badger Honor Flight Veteran Application
Honor Flight would not be successful without the dedicated help provided by the volunteers. Assistance is required from office management and clerical support to airport assistance that aids the veterans at the beginning and at the end of each trip. Please consider the wide range of opportunities; every little bit helps.
