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.
John Mercure, host of Wisconsin's Afternoon News on 620 WTMJ announced on Friday in a social media post, that they have raised $80,000 so far.
Mercure joined TMJ4 News at Noon to talk about the fundraising effort.
