With the help of many, we accomplished an incredible amount for Veterans and their families in Wisconsin in 2018.

Thanks to all who supported causes benefiting service members who devote and sacrifice so much.

We look forward to another prosperous year in 2019! #HappyNewYear

In today's @InWisconsin blog post, read about Milwaukee-based @ROKAutomation and @ManpowerGroup's Academy of Advanced Manufacturing. The program trains Veterans with a 12-week program & pairs them with an exciting career in manufacturing. #WisVetsForward

Congratulations to Army on their hard-fought victory and also to Navy on their inspiring, tireless performance. God bless all the Cadets and Midshipmen for their selfless service. But it all started with this. Must watch: https://t.co/YhfJWl9v8y

Yesterday, James Heber, a formerly homeless Vet living at our Veterans Housing & Recovery Program facility at Klein Hall in Chippewa Falls, was gifted a free car & gas for a year. In Oct, he unveiled a 36-foot long mural he painted at Klein Hall. #WisVets https://t.co/dqzSfdwDPI

Wisconsin is #1 for Veterans!

While there's many stereotypes associated with Wisconsin, those who have actually moved here have a far different story to tell.

In our latest @InWisconsin blog post, read some surprising things many didn't know about living in Wisconsin. #WisVetsForward
