May 20, five of us headed for La Crosse together for the Landing Zone ride to Lambeau stadium on the 21st. Jerry Brix had to meet us there because he wasn't able to get out of work early so rode alone to meet up with us at the motel. We were signed up to represented 6 of 1244 of Wisconsin soldiers who either died or are missing from the Viet Nam era.
Bob Campshure, Dean Belanger, Rick Verber, Bob Meyer & Gerry Brix (me? I took the photo)Wisconsin's official "Welcome Home" to our Vietnam Veterans has been called a great success by veterans, family members, and a community honored to host the overdue recognition of those who served in Vietnam and during the Vietnam era.
An estimated 70,000 people attended over the three days of the LZ Lambeau event - in cities, at Lambeau Field, the Austin Straubel Airport, and at museums around Green Bay. More than 26,000 tickets were dispersed for the special Saturday evening Tribute event. And despite the rain on Friday, 1,244 motorcycles participated in the LZ Lambeau Honor Ride to Lambeau Field to pay tribute to the Wisconsin service people who were killed in action or are still missing in action.
