The Loyal American Legion Post #175 has been a strong supporter of The Highground Veterans Memorial Park near Neillsville.  Whether it is in the form of coming as a group to support the various events at The Highground, bringing its color guard, rifle squad, and bugler or in the form of a check, The Highground counts on the Loyal American Legion Post #175 throughout the year.  Recently, Bruce Hadler, Finance Officer of Post #175 stopped at The Highground to deliver a $300 check to support the newest veterans of the Persian Gulf War by welcoming them home through the Wisconsin Persian Gulf Tribute being constructed at The Highground.

A wonderful WWII exhibit came to The Highground for November and December, arriving early and larger than expected.  Thanks to Prince Building Systems LLC in Neillsville, The Highground was able to store the exhibit crates at the Prince facility until needed.  Bernie Gustke was generous in coordination and helpful in unloading the crates and loading them with Highground volunteers when it came time to deliver them for set up at the Learning Center.

Thank you Prince Building Systems LLC for your facility and generosity.  Also, Thank you VOLUNTEERS for your help in moving the display in/out/set-up and tear down upon its completion.  Over 600 students came from area schools to experience the display while at The Highground Learning Center.

Bob and Caryl Solberg, Neillsville residents, brought a generous donation to The Highground for the picnic shelter/outdoor education center that is underway. It will include a unique expansion fly covering that will make the shelter more versatile than other shelters on the premises.  The Highground hopes to have the shelter constructed during next spring work week—April 24-27.  Thank you Bob and Caryl for your generous support of The Highground.
