This is actually F-4C 63-7704 marked as F-4C 64-0571, the a/c that Medal of Honor recipient Lance Sijan was in when he was shot down over Vietnam on 9 November 1967. Lance was from Milwaukee, WI., which is why the memorial is located there. The actual F-4C on display, 63-7704, recorded a MiG-17 kill over Vietnam in 1967 while assigned to the 480th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 366th Tactical Fighter Wing.
