Milwaukee Soldiers Home Listed on National
Register
MILWAUKEE—The National Soldiers Home Historic
District has officially been listed upon the National Park Service’s
National Register of Historic Places. The historic district, located on
the grounds of the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee,
includes the majority of Wood National Cemetery, nearly 90 acres of
historic grounds, and 25 post-Civil War-era buildings, including the
nation’s first completed federal soldiers home, established in 1867-1869.The Soldiers Home Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-governmental non-profit organization whose mission is to save the historic district buildings, cemetery and grounds — and the veteran legacy they hold — for future generations, completed and submitted the National Register application in early 2005. The National Park Service announcement came one day after the successful completion of the Soldiers Home Foundation-sponsored Reclaiming Our Heritage Multi-Era Reenactment Event, June 4-5.
Hi all,
June 6th, 2005
Here are some pictures of an IED. The IED just
went off, note the black
smoke. The rest of the pictures are of the
humvee. Guess what, nobody got
hurt. The armor and windows on the humvee did
their job.
