Every generation has answered the call.

From 1776 to today, America’s story has been carried forward by generations of men and women who chose service, sacrifice, and duty.

Today, in America’s 250th anniversary, we honor every era of service—and the heroes still writing that legacy today.

Share this post to honor America’s generations of service.

As we enjoy another beautiful Wisconsin weekend, let us all take a moment of reflection and celebrate the history of our American Flag! Did you know.....In 1885, Bernard J. Cigrand, a young schoolteacher in Wisconsin, asked his students to observe what he called the flag's "birthday." He had them write essays on what the Stars and Stripes meant to them. It was a small gesture in a one-room schoolhouse, but Cigrand spent the rest of his life expanding it. He wrote articles, gave speeches, and pressed anyone who would listen to set aside a day for the flag. History remembers him as the Father of Flag Day.
