Ceremony Overview

The program is held annually in remembrance of the Korean War. Several veteran's groups from around the area participate, and we also invite State Representatives, Military personnel, Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) personnel and Korean Representatives to attend.

Veterans that had tiles purchased in their honor or memory are recognized in the ceremony amongst family, friends and members of the public.

Program duration is roughly 1 hour long.
