A local veteran’s organization is making efforts to provide community outreach to help military men and women who served our country find the support and fellowship they are seeking.  Wisconsin AMVETS Executive Director and Weber-Tess Post 51 member Dale Wiegand says his local charter is currently planning on helping a Veterans 1st NEW initiative that received Green Bay City Council approval last June to build 21 tiny homes specifically for homeless veterans, or those vets struggling to afford housing in Green Bay.  

Another project by the Am Vets is a White Clover Drive every year, which helps raise money for veteran hospitals in the state. The white clover, which means “Remember Me,” is the official flower of the Am Vets organization.

The AMVETS Post 51 in Door County meets monthly. Their next meeting is this Tuesday at 7 p.m. at The Lodge at Leathem Smith in Sturgeon Bay, and it is open to anyone to attend.
