Local Veterans on the Next Never Forgotten Honor Flight

Tuesday, October 21st, 2025 -- 11:01 AM

The Never Forgotten Honor Flight organization based in Wausau will fly 99 Vietnam era veterans from central and northern Wisconsin to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials that honor their service on Monday, October 27, 2025.

It’s the organization’s 54th flight since the first Never Forgotten Honor Flight took place April 27, 2010. 73 guardians will accompany these vets on the one-day round trip that departs Central Wisconsin Airport at 6:30 a.m. and is scheduled to return at approximately 10 p.m.

The public is invited to the Central Wisconsin Airport to welcome the veterans home Monday night, and Honor Flight officials recommend arriving no later than 8:30 p.m.

Free parking for those welcoming these veterans home will be provided. Never Forgotten Honor Flight (NFHF) veteran alumni are encouraged to wear their NFHF-issued clothing (hat, shirt or windbreaker) for the welcome home ceremony.

Several area veterans will be on the flight including four from Marshfield, one from Pittsville, two from Auburndale, two from Neillsville, one from Chili, one from Greenwood, three from Wisconsin Rapids, one from Arpin, and one from Abbotsford.
