The Highground Veterans Memorial

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂! 💛 Huge shoutout to everyone who came out for our Fall Cleanup last week! While the weather is cooling down, your community spirit completely warmed our hearts. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🍂

This Veterans Day, step into a space built on honor, healing and community. 🇺🇸❤️

We invite you to join us for our Veterans Day Open House—a dedicated day to celebrate our heroes, support their families and bring our community closer together. Whether you wear the uniform, cherish someone who does or simply want to show your support, our space is a place of welcome. Take a tour, share a cup of coffee, listen to real stories and connect with resources and neighbors who care.

👇 Hitting share could mean a warm cup of coffee, a real conversation or a vital resource for a local veteran. Help us put this in front of someone who needs to hear: 'You belong here.'

Strengthening our mission through community partnership. 🤝

The Highground is proud to acknowledge a generous donation from VFW Post 6856. Commander Renee Landgraf presented a check to Executive Director Chris Pettis this week.

As a nonprofit dedicated to supporting veterans and their families, contributions like this are vital. They allow us to sustain and expand our veterans' programs, community events and educational resources.

Thank you, VFW Post 6856, for your generosity and unwavering commitment to the veteran community.

Our sincerest thanks go out to the Badger All Airborne Chapter of the 82nd Airborne Division Association for their generous donation! 🪂✨

We love when our supporters drop by, and it was an absolute pleasure having Chris, the chapter chairman, stop by our gift shop in person this past Saturday. He presented the check to Rhonda, our gift shop manager, who was thrilled to accept it on behalf of our team.

Thank you, Badger Chapter, for your service, your kindness and your ongoing dedication to giving back!
