GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Stars & Stripes Honor Flight is teaming up again with the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks for a “Flight of Champions” on Saturday, June 20.
About 160 Vietnam-era veterans from the Green Bay and Milwaukee areas will fly to Washington, DC, to see the memorials to veterans and wars.
They’ll be chaperoned by members of the Wisconsin professional teams.
One plane departments Green Bay’s Austin Straubel airport. Two more depart from Milwaukee.
Eligible veterans are encouraged to sign up with their local Honor Flight hubs.
Organizers are urging the public to pack the Green Bay terminal for a huge welcome home at about 7 p.m., saying many of these veterans of the 60s and 70s never got that thanks.
