Badger Honor Flights has schedule two trips for next spring, on April 21 and May 21, volunteer Steve Bartlett tells me. They have 200 World War II veterans on their waiting list, so at 100 per flight, the math is easy.
The urgency of the flights never stops being apparent.
The latest evidence: Ken Hur passed away this week after going on the Nov. 12 flight.
"Ken had
Alzheimers and still thoroughly enjoyed the trip, even though he was in a wheel
chair the entire time. His daughter Janine flew back from Paris to escort him
as a Guardian," Steve said.
