Celebrating Veterans Day

Veterans Day is observed on November 11th, a day to honor America's veterans and thank them for their service to our country. We'd like to thank our own veterans, Pete Boll and Julie Tessmer! (pictured below)

Learn more about Veterans Day at the US Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Day page, covering history, educational resources, observances, and ceremonies. Find out how Wisconsin is observing Veterans Day at the WI Dept. of Veterans Affairs events calendar.

We encourage researchers to explore our Veterans and Military Law legal topic pages. We also link to legal assistance resources for active military, veterans, and their families on our Legal Assistance legal topic page. Do you have a question? Ask us!

While Veterans Day is a national holiday, it is not a Wisconsin state holiday, so we will be open the following Monday, November 12.
