Wisconsin Veterans Museum Foundation

Last week, we welcomed Patti Robinson to speak at our Mess Night at the Museum. Patti's father, Robert C. Wherritt, served in WWII's Pacific Theater with the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marines. He didn't talk about his service which inspired Patti to dedicate her time to researching and tracing his footsteps. Through perseverance and discovery, she began to piece his story together.

Patti visited the islands of Tarawa, Saipan, and Tinian, connected with locals, and uncovered new facts and stories along the way. Thank you, Patti, for sharing your journey and your father's story- we look forward to hearing more as you continue uncovering his service!

Thanks to the continued support of our 2026 Mess Night Series Sponsor, Generac, we can continue sharing and honoring the stories of our veterans through programs like this.

What an amazing time we had at the 2025 WVMF Rock County Convoy! 🇺🇸

This event is all about bringing our veterans community together to celebrate their service, and it was incredible to see so many people enjoying the day, connecting, sharing stories, and honoring those who have served.

A HUGE thank-you to our incredible sponsors, veterans, and volunteers who make this event possible every year. Your support keeps this community strong, connected, and proud. ❤️🤝
