VETERAN OF THE YEAR! Congrats to Glen "Rusty" Armstrong, a volunteer at the Milwaukee VA's Fisher House, for being named Veterans of the Year by the Milwaukee County Veterans Association. Armstrong served on the committee that helped bring the Fisher House to Milwaukee, and continues to assist Veterans' families at the facility, which is a home-away-from-home for family members of Veterans being treated at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center. Armstrong was honored on Veterans Day at the War Memorial Center. The award recognizes Armstrong's "community involvement, service to Veterans and loyalty to family." https://www.facebook.com/warmemorialcenter/posts/pfbid0QeMxUT5d4xwRbXfDYG1VDnDexNEA4bCDNasHefHargsq5vubf3nSSY27c8YEtZksl

'THE BEST OF AMERICA': Veterans’ service to our country does not end when they hang up their uniforms. It continues in many ways, and it’s important on Veterans Day to recognize and honor that service as well as their service in uniform. That was the message during a Veterans Day ceremony Monday at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center.
