Funder recognition

They served for our freedom
Created in conjunction with "Wisconsin World War II Stories," these portraits by Wisconsin Public Television staff photographer Jim Gill honor 14 Wisconsin veterans who served in the Allied war effort.

Eight of the portraits have been made into a traveling exhibition. For more information about hosting this traveling exhibition at your library or similar institution, contact Moira Harrington at mharrington@wpt.org
