Serve the living.' In addition to the building itself standing as a memorial, WMC honors the dead through 18 memorials across the campus, recognizing leaders, individual veterans and groups who fought in conflicts across our nation's great history, from Abraham Lincoln to WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, 9/11 and more. The honor roll of Wisconsin veterans recognizes the 3,481 individuals from Milwaukee County killed in the line of duty. WMC serves the living by hosting 145,000 visitors each year for: special events, such as Veterans Day, National Medal of Honor Day, and Pearl Harbor Day; educational tours and programs; and service to veterans and their families. 50,000 veterans rely upon WMC annually to honor their service and the organizations that support them through employment, mental health and other resource fairs.
