ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – A new tribute to fallen heroes now stands where the former Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena once stood. A new multimedia living memorial wall was unveiled at the Resch Expo on Monday.
“The storytelling wall is really an interactive video with lots of Brown County veterans telling their story. It brings in a whole new perspective for us to gain a better appreciation of what a lot of our community members, our heroes, went through,” said Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach. “An author can bring you into those places, but hearing it first-hand and seeing the emotions in their eyes and recognizing the human impact, it’s so powerful.”
