Old Glory Honor Flight has created a once in a lifetime trip back to Vietnam for Northeast Wisconsin veterans.
This marks their first flight out of the United States. “Our Vietnam vets were treated poorly upon their return and many vets feel as if they endured the horrors of war for nothing,” said Old Glory Board member Scott Delsart. “This trip will give these vets an opportunity for some closure. Seeing firsthand how the Vietnamese people have recovered from the war, will undoubtedly induce some much-needed healing for themselves.”
The two week trip runs February 24th through March 9th, 2019. Follow along as we provide coverage of this emotional journey.
“There’s going to be a day where you’re going to break down in tears. There’s a lot of things going on and it’s just going to happen.”
