Area Veterans on the Next Never Forgotten Honor Flight

Wednesday, May 27th, 2026 -- 1:00 PM

The Never Forgotten Honor Flight organization based in Wausau will fly 95 Vietnam and 1 Korea era veterans from central and northern Wisconsin to Washington, D.C. to see the memorials that honor their service on Monday, June 1, 2025.

It’s the organization’s 56th flight since the first Never Forgotten Honor Flight took place April 4, 2010. 77 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. Local veterans on the flight include from the communities of Marshfield, Medford, Wisconsin Rapids, Abbotsford, Colby, Auburndale, and Pittsville.
