Other Notes

Veteran Recognition:  The Data Collection Committee is available weekly and has collected information on over 700 area veterans. A slideshow can be viewed on Berlin Cable 19 over Memorial Day weekend and Veteran’s Day weekend

Recognition eligibility:  Berlin area service men and women from Civil War veterans to present service members, who have honorably served our country in every way. Be it in peacetime or war, including all branches of the service such as Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines and their affiliated reserve units.

Getting things done:  After forming a group of founders, legal advice was obtained and IRS status as a 501(c)(3) Public Charity was procured. Certificate of Exemption was acquired from the State of Wisconsin. The City of Berlin was approached and the project passed through the Park & Recreation Department, the City Planning Commission and the Common Council. We were granted green space to replace a volleyball court in Berlin’s own 38 acre Riverside Park, south of the North Shelter house for the location of the memorial.

Strengthening Communities:  Berlin is a small town community with a population slightly over 5,000 and centrally located in the State of Wisconsin. It is approximately 90 miles to Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison and Wausau and 18 miles west of Oshkosh in the heart of the Fox River Valley
