Mission
Our mission is to provide two vital services to local veterans. Our 2016 core group of directors and volunteers began our MEAL PROGRAM to provide free meals and food to veterans and their families. We have added a very important mission component to honor and recognize Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans by building a memorial wall called the WISCONSIN VIETNAM VETERANS WALL PROJECT.
MEAL PROGRAM
We are currently providing a free meal to veterans with friends on the first Saturday afternoon of the month with a hearty bowl of soup and sandwich. We intend to expand the meal program to provide more meal dates. Please contact our website for updates.
WISCONSIN VIETNAM VETERANS WALL PROJECT
We are building memorial wall to honor the 1,249 Wisconsin veterans who died in the Vietnam War. The public will be able to view the wall free of charge 24/7/365. The wall features 17 large panels with a “Face for Every Name”.
An official wall dedication will be held in 2025 to mark the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. The War ended on April 30, 1975.
We thank the many wall graphic sponsors that began the initial wall efforts. They are listed on our website.
The completed project cost is estimated to be $70,000. All tax-deductible donations are appreciated. Donors will have an option to be recognized on a Donor wall and on our web site.
The Wall is under construction. We welcome you to stop by and view the progress of the project at 2508 N. Richmond St., Appleton, Wi 54911.
Thanks,
Jack Voight, President
