Honorguard Captain Tim Green was doing a lot of work on the old 40et8 Parade locomotive and needed to take it for a test spin with passengers, so he asked the KAVV to volunteer as they were heading out to the Bristol Gun Club for a Flag Raising Ceremony. The old girl told us about some of her problems which Tim and his sons Tim & Chris, and Grandson CJ, made short work of. Thanks you brave souls for making the journey!

Sadly we didn’t have everyone, but the picture was too good not to post…

Missing: Rich W, Jim R., Chuck, Jeff, Woody, Lou, and Oliver

Welcome aboard to our two newest members, Vietnam era veteran John Argust, a US Navy Veteran, and our 3rd associate member, US Navy Veteran Brad Cramlet. They are already an important part of the squad. Next time you see them give em’ a well deserved pat on the back!

Our Veterans Day ceremony in Library park made the front page of the Kenosha News! As an added bonus, Roy Beals made it there too with the VFW! There wasn’t any snow this year, but it was a cold windy day. Thanks to all who braved the weather.

The KAVV and Post 21 honored the veterans living at the senior communities on Veterans Day 2022!

One of Sue Green’s contributions to the KAVV is the printing and packaging of the Honor Volley that we present to the family. ” 25 packets and 3 hours later… ❤️” was her comment. The shells are buffed by Tim, Son Tim, and probably CJ too. Thanks for all you do Sue!

The KAVV presented Colors at the Annual “Heat for Heroes” and “Keep Wisconsin Warm Fund” Golf benefit at Grand Geneva Resort & Spa. This a huge fundraiser for these important programs, and we are proud to be a part of it.

The KAVV handed out over 700 American Flags before and during the parade, and represented themselves on one of Kenosha’s trolly’s. We rounded out the day as the Color Guard for that evenings Kenosha Kingfish Game!
