Veterans Day at the Capitol
Veterans Day at the State Capitol
Sponsored by the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), and Disabled American Veterans (DAV) of Wisconsin.
On April 22, 2025, Veterans and their supporters from all over Wisconsin will assemble at the Monona Terrace, 1 John Nolan Drive in Madison. (Free Parking)
Schedule:
Registration at 9:00 AM
10:00-11:30 AM program and lunch. (Lunch will be provided to those registered before 4/14/25.)
11:30 AM Walk to the capitol
12:00 PM-1:00 PM Rally at the Rotunda
1:00 PM Meet with Legislators
After the rally, attendees will meet with their representatives to present Legislative Priorities, that include:
- Eligibility Expansion of the Wisconsin Veterans and Surviving Spouses Property Tax Credit
- Funding for the University of Wisconsin (UW) MIA Recovery and Identification Project to repatriate Wisconsin missing-in-action (MIA) servicemembers.
Enactment of these important provisions will bring financial tax relief to qualified Wisconsin’s disabled veterans, many of whom live on limited resources, and a degree of hope to Wisconsin’s grieving MIA families who have suffered for years, in some cases for decades.
Your involvement is essential in bringing these long-delayed priorities into enactment.
Note: One of the questions in the registration is what is your Legislative District? If you are unsure which legislative district you are in go to https://legis.wisconsin.gov/ and put your address in the box under ‘Who are my Legislators?’. If you are still unsure, simply put ‘not sure’ for this question.
