Brice, Edward D.

Edward Brice passed away on August 7th at the age of 93. Edward left high school in Two Rivers, WI at the age of 17 in 1945 to join three of his brothers in fighting for our country. He joined the Merchant Marines and served throughout the South Pacific. In 1946, he enlisted in the Army and was stationed in Alaska until 1948. He returned from service, married, worked various jobs and with his wife, Dorothea raised six children. Eddie was encouraged many times to fly on an Honor Flight, but he declined because he didn’t think he deserved to go since he did not see action as his brother’s did. Despite our uncle’s humble decline to participate in an Honor Flight, Michele Schmitz and Trudy Joecks, daughters of one of his older brothers, want to honor him by donating to the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight in his name.

I would like to pay my last respects to a fellow airman and pilot. George was one of the lucky B-24 bomber pilots who made it back with his crew intact.

I salute you George Christensen and may we meet in the ranks someday.

We miss seeing everyone, and will always remember Kurt from the time you all entered our family with Wally and mom’s union ship. What a journey of life and growth. I remember your dad helping me put together my canopy waterbed in my apartment in 1981, 27 pieces. Yikes, crazy. When Frank & I were married, Kurt, as part of our wedding party needed to carry flower girl, Abbey down the isle at church. We remember when Kurt visited mom in Dayton, mom was so excited & wanted to take him to her favorite restaurant, The Mill in Miamisburg. He would just smile. The everlasting smile. Diane & Kurt’s wedding on the boat was a memory as I just found pictures the other day. He will be missed. May he rest in peace. Mom, your biological grandmom, Wally, & others welcome him to Eternity.

Krause, LaVern

From Obituary: "Sonny" earned a full football scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, but after one semester, he and one of his childhood friends enlisted in the Navy. He completed basic training at the Great Lakes Naval Academy in Illinois and was stationed for a time at Camp LeJeune in North Carolina and at Camp Pendleton in California. Sonny wrote to President Eisenhower requesting that he be sent to the front lines, and the federal government obliged. He was assigned to combat duty in Korea as a navy corpsman attached to the Marine Corps as part of Able Company, 1st Marines, 1st Battalion. Sonny served in the Navy from January 16, 1951 through December 1, 1954, when he received an Honorable Discharge. As with so many of his generation, he rarely talked about the war. It was only later that he started to recount some of his experiences. One of the most harrowing battles, which was reported in the Sheboygan Press at the time, is now documented in the Korean War Project.

Miller, Jesse

To my father Jesse B. Miller who was onboard the May 16, 2015 Honor Flight. He could not believe that an organization of volunteers would do so much for all are great Veterans. He was so inspired by this great organization and talked about how grateful he was for the opportunity to be able to take this incredible venture to Washington D.C. with them. He felt that every Veteran should have the opportunity to experience this incredible day of honor. Unfortunately my father passed away in September of 2015. As his son and guardian on this flight I also was incredibly inspired from what I saw and heard during this trip. So in honor of my father I am sending our yearly donation so that other Veterans can have the opportunity to take part in a mission to honor them. Thank You for all you do for our great Veterans.

Voelker, Robert

This tribute is in honor of Sgt. Robert J. Voelker. On May 11, 2019, Robert Voelker took his Honor Flight with his daughter Tammy Voelker. Up until my father’s last days he would always talk about the special day that he had with the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight. My father was a Marine in the Vietnam War. My father never spoke of his time as a Marine up until this special day, I got to hear a story about my dad’s time in the war. My father passed away on April 11, 2020, today November 2, 2020 is my father’s 75th Birthday. Today in his honor Robert’s wife Charlene and his children Shaun, Dean, and Tammy donate $400.00 in his honor. We hope to give another veteran the honor of having this opportunity to go on the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight, so they can experience this joy and have this memory of such an amazing day that they can share with family and friends just as my father did. Thank you Stars and Stripes!
Charlene, Shaun, Dean and Tammy Voelker. And from his grandkis Noah and Connor.

Volm, Alois

Jack was a WWII Navy veteran who flew on the May 2010 Honor Flight from Milwaukee. We had to convince him that he should go - being one of ’The Greatest Generation’ veterans, he never thought he should get that opportunity. His escort for the day was an Army Colonel who took him in his wheelchair to all of the site visits. Jack was so happy when he returned and his kids met him at the airport along with all the other vets. Jack passed away on September 3, 2020 and was 98 years old. We were so blessed to have him as long as we did and he often talked about how honored he was to go on that honor flight in 2010. Thank you for continuing to give all veterans the opportunity to go on these flights and give them the recognition they so deserve.
