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.
