Rep. Kind Honors Veterans Day at Menomonie Middle School Veterans Day Program

Today, U.S. Rep. Ron Kind joined local veterans, students, and teachers at Menomonie Middle School to celebrate Veterans Day and recognize the contributions of Wisconsin veterans.  

“Veterans Day reminds us how important it is to honor the men and women who have served our country. Today, I was pleased to join Menomonie Middle School students as we heard directly from Wisconsin veterans about their service and sacrifice. One of the most important things we can do is preserve our veteran’s stories for future generations, which is why I started the Veterans History project,” said Rep. Kind.

In 2000, Rep. Kind authored, and Congress unanimously passed, legislation creating the Veterans History Project, which has since allowed 98,000 veterans to record their stories and preserve them in the Library of Congress for future generations.
