The volunteers, flight team and board of Badger Honor Flight mourn the loss of their hero, Marv Severson . We are thankful for his military service and honored to have served him on his trip to Washington, D.C. in April 2011. Marv was a tireless supporter of Honor Flight and aided publicity to other eligible veterans.
