Badger Honor Flight
Dad Honor Flight 2023
Joe Ploessl of Cassville is helped by a volunteer at the Vietnam Memorial on Nov 4. Joe was in Washington D.C. for a Badger Honor Flight trip and received help getting a rubbing of the name of a fallen soldier from Cassville. Ploessl was one of 90 U.S. military veterans to make the trip on Nov. 4. He was accompanied by his son, Adam, and advertising rep for the Republican Journal in Darlington. On both Sept. 9 and Oct. 7, 90 other Wisconsin veterans took trips to DC. The veterans saw many of the main memorials in the district — like the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery, as well as the war memorials for WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
