Traveling Photo Memorial of Wisconsin Fallen on Display in Portage

Traveling Photo Memorial of Wisconsin Fallen on Display in Portage
June 22^nd to June 25
“We must remember these American Heroes and speak their names when we see their family members.  We can never forget those who sacrificed everything for our freedom,” said Bill Williams, co-creator of the memorial.   “While this memorial is about those who have died, it was created for the living …to help the families in their grief, while reminding the rest of the terrible price paid for our freedom by our current generation of military.”
A very emotional memorial, “Remembering Our Fallen,” is a stark reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by 132 Fallen from Wisconsin killed in the War on Terror while wearing our country’s uniform in a war zone.  The photo memorial, which includes military and personal photos of each of Wisconsin’s Fallen is traveling throughout the state and will be coming to Portage.
The memorial will be on display at the Portage Public Library from Wednesday June 22, 2016 until Saturday June 25.  Hours of the display at the library are Wed and Thurs, 10 A.M. to 8:30 P.M.; Friday 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. Sat 9 A.M. to 11 A.M.
The public is invited to an opening ceremony on Wed June 22nd at 10 A.M.
This display is being sponsored by Portage American Legion Post 47, with the assistance of the Briggsville American Legion Post 329; Cambria American Legion Post 401; Portage VFW Post 1707 and  Poynette American Legion Post 271.
