NEW for Friday's Session
Honor In The Air- Remembering Captain Scott R. Alwin
Honor in the Air is a story of inspiration, dedication, valor, and love, following the life of one soldier and those with whom he served while recognizing an entire generation. Captain Scott Alwin served as a helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War with the 68th Assault Helicopter Company. He earned a record 136 Air Medals, Bronze Stars, Silver Star, Vietnam Republic Medals, and the Distinguished Flying Cross, but more importantly, he earned the respect of the men he served with and the love of a Vietnamese woman who became his wife. He was also a preacher's kid with 15 siblings and a dedication to making the world a better place. This film will appeal to Veterans, aircraft aficionados, history buffs, and romantics.
"WOW!!! I don't know what else to say. What an outstanding job you all have done. I didn't know I could have so many different emotions watching a 58-minute video, love, sadness, joy, anger, just to mention a few." - Dave H. (Veteran)
"Beautiful, touching documentary ... excellent production ... amazing Wisconsin story ..." - Rick W. (television producer of PBS series)

2.2 For the 22 Be The One Walk
We all know that the number one issue facing the veteran community is suicide. It is estimated that between 17 and 22 veterans take their lives each and every day.
Join us in bringing awareness with a 2.2 mile walk on Wednesday, July 10, 2024 to kick off the Department Convention. You can register to walk, or register to walk and carry a rock in memory of a Veteran who has taken their life.
This is a free event, and all you need is your walking shoes!
Thank You to Our Partners
