High above surrounding territory (hence the name), The Highground Veterans Memorial Park serves as one of the nation’s finest tribute locations for American military veterans. The Highground Veterans Day Ceremony takes place Thursday, November 11th. Due in part to COVID-19 precautionary steps, this event will be held outdoors and the total length will be determined in part by weather.

THe Highground Veterans Day Ceremony is scheduled to begin at 10am; the Wisconsin KIA/MIA/POW names from WWII to present day will be read and honored with the tolling of The Highground Liberty Bell. With all present and accounted for, the Thorp VFW Post #9057 will present Colors on the Plaza at 11am. As of this writing, the guest speaker is still to be determined.

The Ceremony itself will begin at 3pm.

Veteran support and services will be onsite for continued resources. Coffee and cookies will be served.
