Memorial Day Remembrance
Monday, May 31st at 11:45AM
Veterans Memorial Park, DeForest
|
This year, on the 30th anniversary of the start of the Gulf War, we will be honoring those who gave their lives -- including ten Wisconsinites -- during that conflict. We will also be unveiling the last of our military branch ID pieces. To build suspense, we'll keep the identity of the Navy piece a secret for a while. In any case, please make sure to mark your calendar to join us on Memorial Day. (COVID protocols will be followed.) |
