Walker, Baldwin Call For Unity At Veterans Day Ceremony

Wisconsin’s political leaders called for unity at a Veterans Day ceremony in Madison on Tuesday.

Speaking to a crowd of veterans gathered at the state Capitol rotunda, Gov. Scott Walker called the day one on which to say “Thank you” to veterans.

“It’s one of those great things — on a day like today, it doesn’t matter whether you’re ‘red’ or ‘blue.’ Today, we’re all red, white, and blue,” he said.

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., said that on days like this, she was reminded of the words she once read at a Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital: “The price of freedom is visible here.”

“When you look into the eyes of a veteran, you’re reminded of the American values that hold us together. You are reminded of the values that define us as one nation, united,” said Baldwin

Baldwin called on the audience to make sure that no veteran is left alone to deal with the challenges they face.
