Wisconsin Vets Day Incorporated
WVDI? What is it?
Wisconsin Vet's Day, Inc.
A new non-for-profit
Corporation formed to help our Military/Veterans.
As you know funding for veteran services is on the decline, some say because
our
Veteran population is
also on the decline.
The point being our hospitalized vets still receive the best medical care
available and their basic needs addressed, but, little else.
What WE propose is an
annual event to include a cookout, games, and entertainment, but, most
important it is a
chance for the Veterans
to socialize and have conversation with New Friends.
This event will be held
at the Veterans Home in Union Grove, WI. All Veterans at this facility
are invited to attend, and the
hospitalized Vets who
are unwilling or unable to make it outside have their own meals and other
items delivered to their wards.
With the help and dedication
of several volunteers, wheelchair and bed ridden patients do attend outdoor
activities.
Donations received for
Vet's Day not only fund the annual event, but support Veterans all year
long. Examples being, but,
not limited to: recreational
(movies, theater, bowling, etc.), educational (arts and crafts), hospice
care (support for visiting out
of town relatives), replacement
of worn out TV's and VCR's in the dayrooms and on and on. We consult
the hospital to find out
what our Vets need and
we do our best to supply it. Your support as a volunteer or your donations
assist
us in accomplishing our
mission to provide the finest support possible for the benefit of our Veterans
and their families who reside
at, or are visiting,
the Veterans Home in Union Grove, WI. which is located between Milwaukee
and Chicago.
The success of this annual
event depends on the generosity of the Corporate and business community,
in addition to the help
and financial support
of Veteran’s organizations, and community service groups and special individuals.
We ask that you be as
generous as possible.
With your help this has
become the largest event of it's kind in the State of Wisconsin.
Last, but not least, you or a
representative has a
standing invitation to join us on the day of the event.
America is #1
Thanks to our Veterans
