SUMMARY:Veterans Day Observance at the Wisconsin State Capitol Building
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, November 11\, the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs joins the Madison Veterans Council to host a Veterans Day  ceremony in the Wisconsin State Capitol Rotunda. Governor Evers and WDVA Secretary Kolar will give remarks. Wisconsin Veterans Museum Director Chris Kolakowski will deliver the keynote address. \nThis year’s National Veterans Day theme for 2022 is honor. As a society we view the concept of honor as a matter of carrying out\, acting\, and living the values of respect\, duty\, loyalty\, selfless service\, integrity\, and personal courage in everything we do.\nWe also view honor in our veterans for their personal sacrifices\, accolades\, and their commitment to have proudly served our country. \nThe ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. and concludes with a moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. We would be honored if you would join us.

SUMMARY:Book Talk with David Chrisinger- The Man Who Told America The Truth About D-Day: Ernie Pyle
DESCRIPTION:In June 1944\, Ernie Pyle\, a 43-year-old journalist from rural Indiana\, was as ubiquitous in the everyday lives of millions of Americans as Walter Cronkite would be during the Vietnam War. And what Pyle witnessed on the Normandy coast triggered a sort of journalistic conversion for him: Soon his readers — a broad section of the American public — were digesting columns that brought them more of the war’s pain\, costs\, and losses at a time when America’s fighting men needed the home front to better understand what it truly cost to liberate Europe from fascism. \nREGISTER HERE \nThis program is free and suitable for all ages. \nEvent sponsored by The Wisconsin Veterans Museum Foundation with support for the Foundation from Generac Power Systems.
