Hello Everyone! On Saturday, April 16, 2011, we experienced an extra-ordinary event: The Welcoming Home of WWII Vets – Wisconsin Vets being honored for their selfless service. This event was something amazing. Chris and I went to honor those who have served and share our “thank you”. And then we were surprised…
Yes, surprised by all of the amazing family members and appreciative citizens- several thousands people waiting at the airport for hours (the flights were delayed due to weather in DC). Young children, adult children, loved ones of our beloved vets waiting, talking, smiling and sharing their memories and love with each other while we all waited to say “Thank You”. Chris and I didn’t have any one specifically to recognize, which allowed for us to roam and meet people, hear stories, and take endless photos of this phenomenal event! More regarding this event and photos will be posted this week- we are having a little technical snafu-y on our end, but we want you to know alot of fantastic photos will appear right here later this week. Please check back throughout the week…. and feel free to check out the rest of the site and reach out for a pledge! I had one person say, “Can I write a post dated check for the beginning of August and mail it to you now?”, my answer, “Sure! We’ll tuck it away until the beginning of August.” If you are interested in supporting Wisconsin Veterans services, please scout out our “Donation Pledge Form” right above this post. Thank you & Semper Fi!
