UNTIL THEY ARE HOME

Remembering Wisconsin's POW/MIA

Currently on display in Freedom Gallery

UNTIL THEY ARE HOME is an exhibit exploring the POW/MIA experience, delivered with truthful solemnity. The exhibit talks about the trauma POW/MIAs experienced and brings to life the lasting impact those experiences had on both them and their families. We focus on Wisconsin servicemembers who were POW/MIA in conflicts as far back as the Civil War with historical events and statistics. As the POW/MIA flag proudly states, “YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN”, this exhibit honors that tradition until every story ends.

PAUSE FOR PEACE

Thursday, December 14th

5pm next to the War Memorial Center’s eternal flame

With a recent increase in attacks on U.S. military bases, regional conflicts and human atrocities occurring throughout the world, many are dealing with increased distress and struggling to cope. To support those struggling and provide mental health support, the War Memorial Center will host a Pause for Peace event at 5 pm on December 14th in which U.S. military Veterans and the greater Milwaukee community come together to pause and pray for peace this holiday season.

Chaplin Robert Allen, Chief of Chaplain Services at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, will hold a brief moment of silence as we gather to reflect next to the War Memorial Center’s eternal flame. Members of the Southeastern Wisconsin Veterans Suicide Prevention Task Force will also be in attendance to extend a helping hand to all in our community who are struggling with the recent traumatic events impacting our world.
