The Honor Flight Veterans gathered in front of the Lincoln Memorial – Photo: Mal Muir | AirlineReporter.com

Early in the morning, men were arriving at Wisconsin’s Oshkosh Wittman Regional Airport. They all had one thing in common; they were heading to Washington D.C. on a very special charter flight.

Each one had been selected by the Northeast Wisconsin Old Glory Honor Flight & Experimental Aviation Association due to their service during the Vietnam War.  The four main armed services (Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marines) were represented by the 110 veterans taking the flight.

I was invited to accompany them in order to experience the Honor Flight and to tell their story.
