Blue, William

My father, William David Blue, took his honor flight last May 2022. He wanted to sponsor others because he was so impressed by the day, but he did not get around to sending money before he passed away on New Year’s Day 2023. We are sending all of the donations made at his service to Honor Flight to fulfill his wish of sponsorship. Please accept $555.00 to sponsor a deserving veteran. Thank you for all you do!

Franzke, Charles

Charles (Chuck) was a good friend and a national treasure to the Stars and Stripes Honor Flight community. I worked with Chuck on fundraising and community events at schools, retail establishments and more. He was super-patriotic and loved his country. I visited Chuck and his wife Beverly several times at their home in Waukesha. My "5-minute visit" turned into over an hour of conversations. Chuck gave me the grand tour of his military memoriabilia, not skipping any detail. I was honored to attend his 100th Birthday tribute at his home in December during a snowstorm. It didn’t phase him at all. Chuck will be remembered by all whom his life touched. Watching him dance with Beverly at the Stars and Stripes Gala in November 2021 was a high point of the event. Rest in Peace my friend and until we meet again at the Pilot’s lounge and in the ranks in paradise. I salute you one last time. Godspeed!

Larson, Victor

Our donation is on belief of a dear friend, Victor Larson, a Korean War vet we met through Stars and Stripes Honor Flight. Jamie was first selected as Vic’s guardian, but due to health issues, he was unable to travel. When he finally was able, Jamie was already assigned to be a guardian for another vet so I was selected to be Vic’s guardian. As it turned out, we both were able to share his special day in DC along with Jamie’s Korean War vet. What a memorable day the four of us had! Vic brought so many smiles and laughter to those he met and through this experience, he became like family to us. We were so blessed to have him in our lives. RIP Victor. You may be gone, but never forgotten.

Miller, Jesse

In loving memory of my father who participated in the May 16th 2015 honor flight. What an incredible experience we had that day. You as a Veteran and myself as a guardian. It was such an honor for my father to be honor in such an incredible way. To meet with other Veterans and to see all the Memorials and Arlington Cemetery. The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns Soldier was incredible and I saw the tears in my Father eyes that told me the story of what this all meant to him. Unfortunately my father passed away on September 21st. 2015. My father talked about that day in DC right up to the day of his passing. He continually thank me for signing him up to go on this experience. I told my father that the people we need to thank are all the great folks at the Stars and Stripes Honor Flights Organization. So in my Father name please accept this annual donation in my father name. Keep up the great work of honoring our Great Veterans.

Spence sadly passed on December 18, 2022. He served proudly in the US Air Force as a Sergeant for 4 years during the Vietnam War. The honor flight he took in 2021 was such a wonderful experience for him, we wish to donate in his honor so others may have the same experience. Our brother will be greatly missed.
