The mission of The American Legion, Department of Wisconsin is to provide service to veterans, their families and their communities.

The new handicapped accessible nature trail at Camp American Le-gion was dedicated on Friday June 17th during a ceremony conducted by Department Commander Dale Oatman. The work on the trail was a collaborative effort between Lo-cal 139 of the International Union of Operating Engineers and The American Legion, Department of Wisconsin.

The 98th Annual Department Convention, scheduled for July 14th through July 17th at the Madison Marriott West is fast ap-proaching. Delegates, alternate delegates and guests are encour-aged to make the Walk for Veter-ans, led by National Commander Dale Barnett of Georgia, a part of their Convention experience.

The Walk will begin at 8:00AM on Saturday, July 16th. The length of the walk is approximately 1.3 miles and will start and end at the Madison Marriott – West. The

industry also donated time, equip-ment and materials.

The trail is named “Gary. G. Wet-zel Way” after the Vietnam war veteran and long-time Oak Creek Post No. 434 member who re-ceived the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions in combat. Wetzel was on hand for the dedication and commented on its importance to veterans; “They meet new friends or maybe other veterans who have

The convention will begin on Friday, July 15th with District Caucuses at 7:30 AM and Open-ing Ceremonies at 9:00 AM. Convention Committee Meet-ings will take place at 2:00 PM and consider a number of Reso-lutions related to Legion business

some of the problems they do. They can talk about it, just sit and relax, take a nice little walk and think about life,” said Wetzel of his vision for the trail. “Having their thoughts and doing what they want to do because of freedom,” Wetzel said. “Because of the veterans that take time out of their lives so you and I could be here.”

“Camp American Legion had a nature trail, but unfortunately wheelchair bound veterans did not have access to it” explained Lo-cal 139 Business Manager Terry McGowan. The union’s veteran training program, “Combat to Construction”, allowed union ap-prentices to work on the project.

Former Army Airborne Ranger Leroy Miller was one of them. “It’s challenging, but it’s also service. Service to America. We continue to get to build things for America... build things for Ameri-cans and support my family. So it’s great. It’s an amazing program,” he explained. Before Miller and his crew worked on it, the trail had been an overgrown logging road. “We took what was great. We made it greater. We did it for the vets,” he said.

Though the trail bears his name, Wetzel said it represents far more than that.

“Anybody, him or her, with a handicap, can walk this trail, take their time, think about things, think about America, think about their life, and just kind of relax and kind of take it easy,” Wetzel said. Wet-zel finds it especially meaningful that the trail for veterans was made by veterans. It’s a feeling Miller and his coworkers share. “You try so hard to give back as much as you can,” Miller said. “To be able to do it is great. It’s great. It’s amazing.”

Medal of Honor recipient Gary G. Wetzel of the Oelschlaeger-Dallmann Post No. 434 in Oak Creek is shown here offering some brief remarks at the dedi-cation of the handicapped accessible nature trail at Camp American Legion named in his honor.

The ceremonial ribbon cutting and official opening of Gary G. Wetzel Way took place on Friday, June 20th at Camp American Legion.

DEPARTMENT COMMANDERThis will be my

last Commander’s message in the Badger Legion-naire. It has been an exciting and rewarding year that I will cherish for many years to

come. I had a lot of help along the way so if I miss anyone in this article, my apologies.

The year in office had a lot of travel and I thank my wife, Rita, for her sup-port taking care of the extra chores around the house, continued care of her mother up to her death in Febru-ary and many more things. A thank you to the entire Headquarters Staff for their support across the spectrum of all programs. Our Department could not survive without the Pro-gram Coordinators. Adjutant Kurtz led the way at Headquarters with the most difficult job of reporting to and working with a new Commander each year which can be a daunting and thankless job but a job where he keeps the Department in the black year-in-

and-year-out. I thank the Department Vice Commanders who stepped in for me when I could not attend functions. They also helped with membership, revitalizations, and leadership efforts with the Districts under them. Thank you District Commanders and Com-mittee members for your leadership and commitment to your Counties, Posts and Legionnaires, not to men-tion your support of me.

It was certainly a pleasure traveling within and outside our great state with Auxiliary President Laura Calteux. She inspires the entire Legion Fam-ily with her presence and it has been a joy working with her. I wish her well in her future endeavors. The SAL was phenomenal this year with their mem-bership over 100%. Thank you Com-mander Mike Kollmansberger for your efforts and support. Past Depart-ment Commanders were very support-ive and I appreciated their guidance.

To the family of Pastor George Bu-chanan go my deepest sympathy. He had a vision to help spread our Legion Family news using both The American Legion and Legion Family facebook

pages far more than anyone could have imagined, especially documenting events that I had attended. His pastoral commitment, technical abilities and love of the Legion Rider program were enormous and have been missed by many. We all lost a great friend.

Badger Boys State was very excit-ing this year as we celebrated the 75th session with a visit by National Commander Dale Barnett. The Com-mander was extremely complimentary of our programs so kudos go to the staff over those 75 years. It certainly is a great program and one I am proud to be a part of.

The dedication of the nature trail at Camp American Legion went very well and the trail is now named “Gary G. Wetzel Way”. Thank you Gary for your presence and allowing us to name it after you. Also, thank you for your service and congratulations as a Medal of Honor recipient of the Viet-nam War.

The Legacy Scholarship Run for PRIDE ended on Father’s Day, June 19th, at the Veterans Home at King. The King event was also the 61st annu-

al Legion Day with a parade, chicken dinner and program supported by the Legion Family and 40 et 8. Thank you to the 8th District for organizing the event and to the staff and volunteers at King for hosting the event. Now back to the Legacy run. The Legion Riders did a fantastic job organizing and completing the run. Thanks go to PDC and Alternate NECman Ken Rynes, his wife Ann and John Wolfe. The Riders had excellent weather and only minor incidents. The three-day ride took in around $22,000 and with prior donations, the total amount to date is a little over $30,000. This is below my goal of $1 for every Depart-ment Legionnaire which is 57,500 so keep those donations coming.

Speaking of donations, the Depart-ment’s sweepstakes fund raiser is be-hind from prior years. We need to turn this around for the sake of keeping our programs intact to prevent a Depart-ment dues increase.

Well, this is farewell as your Com-mander. However, I will not fade into the deep dark but remain a loyal Le-gionnaire. God’s speed to all.

Wisconsin is a leader in the coun-try when it comes to investing in vet-erans and we have the best and bright-est staff overseeing all these efforts. The Wisconsin De-

partment of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) excels in providing modern tools to our nation’s heroes so that veterans are able to reintegrate into civilian society with housing, education, health care and meaningful jobs.

The Veterans Trust Fund (VTF) has been the main source of revenue for providing these essential veterans ben-efits in Wisconsin since 1961. Main-taining a healthy trust fund is critical to our service mission.

Over the years the VTF relied on rev-enue generators like special taxes (li-quor, tobacco, etc.) and, more recently, interest payments from loan programs administered by the WDVA. However, as the nation’s economy changed, so did our ability to use loan interest as

a source of revenue. Fewer and fewer veterans applied for our loans, instead turning to banks that were providing loans at interest rates that a small state agency could not compete with. That, coupled with the fact the loan programs no longer generated enough revenue to cover expenses, meant that it just didn’t make sense for us to continue to invest resources in loan programs.

Seeing the decline in revenue gener-ators, Governor Walker has provided the VTF with more than $10 million since 2012, the first general fund ap-propriations that the VTF received since 1988. Additionally, the Legis-lature, with bi-partisan support, gave us the ability to transfer funds to the VTF from our main source of income, the Wisconsin Veterans Homes, which provide 24-hour skilled nurs-ing care to nearly 1,000 veterans and their spouses.

That the Homes generate revenue sufficient to support transfer to the VTF is itself a success. In 2011, the Homes were operating nearly $13 million in the red. Deliberate analy-

sis and decisions led to reforms that turned the homes around. Today our Homes are some of the best in the country (with 5 star ratings per the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and we are operating about $40 million in the black.

The VTF is the healthiest it’s been in many years. Spending the VTF wisely is paramount, as it allows us to provide direct services to veterans and their families.

A primary service is claims as-sistance. In fiscal year 2015, the US Department of Veterans Affairs com-pleted 43,670 Wisconsin claims for veterans. Of those, the WDVA rep-resented veterans in 22,143 claims – over 50 percent. The impact of those benefits to veterans represented by WDVA was $33.2 million in 2015. Claims assistance is an important benefit other states, like Ohio and Michigan - which boast significantly larger veterans populations than Wis-consin – do not provide.

The WDVA runs three veterans cemeteries, including 5th busiest state

veterans cemetery in the nation. To date in fiscal year 2016, our staff has interred over 1,000 veterans and their spouses and our Military Funeral Honors Team has coordinated nearly 5,000 funerals.

We also operate the Wisconsin Vet-erans Museum, educating the public with the stories and history of Wiscon-sin’s veterans. A Smithsonian affiliate, it is a unique treasure that welcomes more than 120,000 visitors per year.

These are just a few of the things we do. In Wisconsin, we have invested in the most generous collection of veter-ans benefits of any state in the nation – making us a national leader in veterans affairs. We have laid a strong founda-tion so that we can continue to provide the best quality programs, benefits and services to those who have served our great country. Wisconsin cares deeply about our veterans and the WDVA at the direction of Governor Walker will continue to work hard to make sure our veterans – who have given and sacrificed so much – have everything they need to succeed.

Heading into the 98th Annual De-partment Conven-tion, the Depart-ment can look back on a very active year. Following last summer’s Conven-tion in Appleton,

Department staff has remained en-gaged in supporting Commander Oat-man’s agenda for the 2015-16 Member-ship year.

Considerable effort and time was de-voted to Camp American Legion. The addition of over 200 acres of land has allowed us to expand services. The trail has been possible through many dona-tions of equipment and materials at no cost to the Department. The trail has been named the “Gary G. Wetzel Way” in recognition of the Medal of Honor recipient and long-time member of Post No.434 in Oak Creek. Department staff

is working to take maximum advantage of the project for public awareness and better brand the Wisconsin American Legion. Former University of Wiscon-sin men’s basketball coach Bo Ryan, a Vietnam era veteran, was featured in our November radio commercials heard statewide.

Following Midwinter, tens of thou-sands of Children’s Activity books, developed in partnership with the Mil-waukee Art Museum, were distributed across the state free of charge as an effort to promote Americanism to chil-dren at the pre-school and elementary school level. The books have proven to be very popular.

Tremendous progress has been made this year on the issue of unclaimed re-mains of Wisconsin veterans. A great deal of credit goes to PDSO Tom Ludka and DVC Ed Cooper for their efforts. A new law helps to streamline the process of transferring unclaimed

remains from funeral service providers to the WDVA State Veterans Cemeter-ies for interment. Department staff has also worked aggressively to enhance our Service Office at the VA Regional Office in Milwaukee. Staffing adjust-ments were made and a satellite office was established to provide outreach to homeless and “at-risk” veterans.

Staff also took part in discussions re-lated to legislation affecting veteran ser-vices statewide. Following an assembly hearing where the proposal was tabled, discussion began about addressing the delivery of veteran’s benefits and servic-es in the foreseeable future. As a result, a Resolution calling for a comprehen-sive study of the issue was adopted by the Department Executive Committee at the 2016 Spring meetings.

Significant revisions to the Wisconsin American Legion Baseball Association Bylaws and the Constitution & Bylaws for the Sons of The American Legion,

DEPARTMENT ADJUTANT

David KurtzDepartment Adjutant

Detachment of Wisconsin were com-pleted this past year through the ef-forts of Policy Committee Chairman Ted DeMicchi, Judge Advocate Steve Kaminski and staff. The Baseball As-sociation Bylaws were revised to better standardize game misconduct pun-ishments and streamline the appeals process. An amended version of the Constitution & Bylaws for the Sons of The American Legion, Detachment of Wisconsin was adopted by the Depart-ment Executive Committee this spring and two Resolutions that would amend the Department Constitution are being offered at this year’s Convention. One would provide a means to better moni-tor the process of selling and mort-gaging Post-owned real estate and the other would better define the proper procedure for disciplining members. All in all, it has been a busy and pro-ductive year – about to be capped off at Convention. I hope to see you there.

Her sup-port of the American cause was just as ardent as her husband’s, but with a twist- she kept on reminding him to “not forget the ladies,” while he was in Congress, and while he was president. A feminist long before it became fashionable, Abigail Ad-ams was a moralistic and honorable revolutionary, though unfortunately kept more into the background in those more male-dominated times.

George Washington, unlike John Adams, did not receive a classical education, but as the son of a gentleman farmer in Virginia, he learned the practical trades of surveying, animal husbandry, and tobacco farming. He studied a book on manners and morals so much, that whole passages were embedded in his brain. Though not considered an intellectual, he was well-read and studied ancient history and warfare.

In 1753 Major Washington, age 21, as a member of the Virginia militia, was sent by Virginia’s governor to Fort Duquesne, at the site of what is now Pittsburgh, PA, to order the French to evacuate the premises, as it was land claimed by Britain. A year later, he precipitated the French and Indian War (1754-63), firing the first shots! Though he saw limited action in 1755 during the failed Braddock campaign, Washington proved his courage and coolness under fire, earning the admiration of his men.

In 1775, after the Revolution broke out, as a member of the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Washington was nominated by John Adams to be the commander-in-chief of rebel forces. He accepted. Though his in-experience in battle showed at the Battles of New York, and at White Plains, in 1776, his brilliant conduct at Trenton, Assunpink Creek, and Princeton in 1776-77 earned him the love and devotion of nearly ev-ery soldier who served under him. Leading a small, sometimes ragtag army against the greatest military might in the world, Washington lost more battles than he won, but he won the war in the end.

As general and later president,

Washington was a man of high morals, superhuman perseverance, an unshakeable belief in the cause, and honesty. His one major flaw was that he owned slaves, but with-out his stupendous leadership and common sense on the battlefield, and later as our first president, he was unequaled.

After the Revolution, Washington was asked to become King George I of America. He turned it down, saying that he wasn’t going to be a hypocrite by replacing a British king with an American one. He had it if he wanted it. He said “no.” He did the right thing.

Lack of space does not allow me to fully describe all of our great Revolutionary and post-Revolu-tionary leaders, but I could add to the list the likes of Generals Na-thanael Greene, Henry Knox, and John Glover, who all fought under Washington. James Madison and John Quincy Adams were certainly intellectual and moralistic giants. Thomas Jefferson I would add only for his intelligence, and author-ship of the Declaration of Indepen-dence, but not for his beguiling and double-dealing style of statesman-ship. Alexander Hamilton likewise falls into that latter category.

In later decades, others such as Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Theodore Roosevelt, Alice Paul, and others, were regarded as upright-minded leaders. They’re long gone.

Morality. Honesty. Integrity. Class. Intelligence. Decency. Hon-or. Many people today still have these qualities, but in the political world, they are as rare as hens’ teeth. We are now at the mercy of politicians guided by greed, lust for power, dishonesty, complacency, special interest groups, and that damned reelection they’re always campaigning for. We wait and pon-der a change, a return to past ide-als and morals, but that old clock keeps ticking...
