Our partners at 620 WTMJ are raising money to repair the memorial of a local Medal of Honor recipient.

In 2017, 620 WTMJ partnered with the Lance P. Sijan Foundation to help install the F4C Phantom Fighter jet — you may recognize it as the memorial outside the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport.

Since it was installed, the jet has been in need of updates and maintenance to continue honoring the life of Sijan.
