Badger Honor Flight!

06/05/2026

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by your local Hy-Vee last night to enjoy a steak dinner in support of Badger Honor Flight!

It was a fantastic evening filled with community spirit—our volunteers were busy plating meals, sharing information, and helping spread the word about our mission to honor our Veterans.

If you missed out this time, don’t worry—we’ve got another opportunity right around the corner! Join us again next Thursday, June 11th, at your local Hy-Vee for another great meal and a chance to support a meaningful cause.

We hope to see you there!

Hopefully, you've already marked your calendars for our September and November 2026 flights! We're also flying to D.C. on October 3, 2026. Navy veterans Art and Danny Simpson helped us announce the October flight last weekend.

If you can’t decide what to make for dinner tonight, head to Hy-Vee and let them grill a steak for you! The Hy-Vee stores in Oregon, Janesville and Ripon will be doing steaks from 4 to 6PM and the Madison West store from 3 to 6PM. Madison East and Fitchburg will not be grilling this week but will in the weeks to come.

We hope to see you there!

Thank You, Badger Honor Flight Volunteers!

Mission 66 on Saturday was nothing short of incredible—and it simply would not have been possible without the dedication, energy, and heart of our amazing Badger Honor Flight volunteers.

These pictures show just a very small fraction of our Volunteers. From the months prior to the flight, to the very early morning hours Saturday into the late night, you worked behind the scenes and on the front lines to ensure every detail came together seamlessly. Because of you, our Veterans were greeted with the powerful, emotional, and unforgettable homecoming they so deeply deserve. It takes a special kind of commitment to create an evening filled with such pride, gratitude, and celebration. Your passion makes all the difference—and it’s felt in every smile, every cheer, and every moment shared. To ALL of our volunteers, we are endlessly grateful for everything you do to honor those who have served.
