United We Stand - Divided We Fall - We Never Fail!

Door County Veterans Stand Guard at Deaths Door!

Once a veteran, always a veteran. It's in our blood 24/7, 365 days a year. Our duty was and always will be to protect, defend, and come to the aid of anyone in harms way. We never abandoned our post during WWII, or in Korea, Viet Nam, Desert Storm, Iraq, or at any time in our county's history. Every where we served we served with honor and duty to our God and country. We've never abandoned our post or ignored our duty protect and defend our homeland.

Our mission has never and will never change. The purpose of this site is to support our veterans, reinforce our troops on active, and establish homeland security' response and recovery partnerships between our public sector civilian forces (law enforcement, fire fighters, emergency government, etc.) and our private sector citizens (business associations, schools, churches, social clubs, etc.).

Refer to your post bulleting board and branch websites for the latest requests of veterans coming from the highest level of authority. In summary all branches are asking veterans to get involved in three areas:
  • Support active duty solders and their families,
  • Reinforce our national guard troops at home,
  • Support the public-to-private homeland security partnerships safeguarding our economic infrastructures.

For example: Click here for requests comming from the marine corp commandant...

Our strategic action plans for 2007 - 2008 include:

  • Establishing an Internet driven "Role-Call" system we'll use to enlist post' members and muster our troops during the next natural disaster, terrorist attack, pandemic, or large scale community crisis.

  • Conduct basic training in Incident Command and Control (ICS) at the post and district levels.

  • Enlist and train veteran' Critical Incident Response Teams (CIRTs) at the post, county, tri-county, and state levels.

  • Support Homeland Security (HLS) public-to-private partnerships designating post' Liaison Officers as coordinators representing the private sector on Multi Agency Coordination Teams (MACTs).

  • Establish an Internet link between our Wisconsin Department for Veteran' Affairs, the Army-Air Force National Guard, the Coast Guard, the Department of Emergency Government and our veterans on the front lines during any large scale community crisis or when Door County stands in harms way.

  • We'll attempt to create an  Internet "Home Page" for each post in Door County with a link to a "Headquarter Command" Home Page used as a "pass-through" to veteran resources at the post, district, state and national levels.

  • Maintain a Veteran' suggestion wing of our web site!

 

All veterans should be on board before the next terrorist attack or large scale community crises. When possible, join the post nearest your home. Whether you join a post or not, report in through "Roll-Call" so you'll be alerted to training opportunities.   All veterans should be familiar with the VA web site at www.va.gov.  Use this site to register for veteran benefits, download brochures, etc.

FYI: There are 10 veteran organizations in Door County:

  • Four American Legion posts (Post 72 in Sturgeon Bay, Post 372 in Maplewood, Post 527 in Sister Bay, and Post 402 on Washington Island), three Veteran of Foreign War (VFW) posts (Liberty Grove Post 8337, Fish Creek Post 9290, and Sturgeon Bay post 3088), one AMVET Post 51 in Sturgeon Bay, one Marine Corp League Detachment 1130 in Sturgeon Bay and the Cooties Post 43 in Sturgeon Bay.

 

  • There is a three member "Veterans Commission" appointed by the Door County Board of Supervisors that hires a "Veteran's Service Officer" (CVSO) to administer veterans affairs at the county level. There is also a "Veteran's Council" made up of two representatives from each post.

Please note: "I do all my own web design and maintenance so please excuse links that don't work, shots that miss their targets, and opinions that sound like orders. There are no guarantees in combat. I was trained to be an army grunt, not a computer geek! "

Uncle Sam Needs YOU!

  • Terrorists threaten our way of life!
  • Columbine styled attacks strike close to home!
  • Tornados and wildfires are annual events! 
  • We're not immune to pandemics!
  • Children go missing, gangs roam our back roads, crooks hide in our homes, drug dealers deal in our orchards, drunks keep driving, pedophiles move into our county, terrorist case our community, and every-once-and-a-while we blow up a local landmark.

All veterans are urged to join a veteran post near their home. To better protect and defend our homeland while supporting our local emergency government, law enforcement, fire fighters, active military, and homeland security professionals, we're going to offer Incident Command and Control training to include "basic training" in...

  • How to take command and control of a crime scene until authorities arrive,
  • How to provide "appropriate first aide for heart attacks and burn victims until the EMTs arrive,
  • How to provide protection for terrorist targets during a parade or community festival,
  • How locate, lockdown, link, and extracate a target during an attack,
  • How to conduct a bomb threat assessment and search,
  • How to report suspicious activity to proper authorities (i.e. through  911, InfraGard (FBI), County Social Services, etc.),
  • And much, much, more!

To make sure you and your family are "mission-ready" before the next community crisis, join the veteran post of your choice today!
