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!

The KAVV Honor Guard’s annual memorial day presentation. The KAVV reads the names of all veteran’s who were killed in battle and reads the names of Kenosha’s sons and daughters that have died in battle since the Vietnam War.
