Saturday, September 15, representing the Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) program I was with the community of Kewaunee celebrating Veterans and the work and sacrifices they have given to our country. It is amazing to be in a close community such as this that takes time to honor and remember those who have served and continue to serve. Local veterans from past and current wars are coming through and sharing their experiences with each other and if you are lucky, as I am, they share a part of their service with you.
-
- Even in a small Wisonsin community as Kewaunee, its citizens have served in our miltary around the world.
-
- Kewaunee has a rich history of ship building. During World War II this community manufactured ship for the Army Transportation Corps. During 1941-1945 eighty transport ships were manufactured for the US Army
-
- A very touching balloon release ceremony was done in memory of those who lost their lives in service for our country and past veterans. Names of veterans were written on balloons by those in attendance and released.
