The Captain Lance P. Sijan Memorial Plaza honors the Wisconsin native and U.S. Air Force pilot who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary resistance and survival efforts after being shot down over Laos in 1967, ultimately dying as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam in 1968. An F-4 Phantom II, representative of the aircraft flown during that era, stands as a static memorial display alongside the American and POW/MIA flags. Project: 218972
