Happy Veterans Day to all the veterans out there! We salute and thank you for your service.

There is no better way to thank or honor a veteran than by sending them on an Honor Flight. Two of our Harbor Towns have organizations that fly vets on Honor Flights. Stars and Stripes Honor Flight runs out of Milwaukee, and Old Glory Honor Flight runs out of Green Bay. I've personally had the privilege of escorting a veteran on an Honor Flight, and I cannot commend these organizations enough for the extraordinary way they honor our veterans. If you don't know a veteran to sign up for an Honor Flight, consider attending the homecoming events at the airport as a way to honor and respect these veterans.

The Milwaukee War Memorial Center's mission is to "Honor the Dead by Serving the Living". Their memorial pays tribute to all branches of the Armed Forces and aims to tell the stories of veterans who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. The courtyard features an eternal flame memorial surround by a ring of honor signifying the never-ending sacrifice of our military members. Many of our veterans deal with long-lasting effects from their time of service, and we honor and thank them this upcoming Veterans Day.
