The Remember the Fallen event scheduled for Monday (September 6th) has drawn the attention of legislative leaders from multiple levels of government.
On the federal level, leaders from both sides of the political aisle will be reading names, namely Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin and Republican Congressman Glen Grothman.
State Assemblymen Shae Sortwell and Paul Tittl have also signed on, as have Two Rivers City Manager Greg Buckley, and Manitowoc Aldermen Jim Brey and Bill Schlei.
The public is welcome to view the reading of the names of all 2,456 U.S. Servicemen and Women who died while serving in Afghanistan, however political demonstrations will not be tolerated. This event is intended to honor the fallen soldiers, airmen, and seamen, not to be a political statement of any kind.
The event will begin at 11:00 AM at Faith Church in Manitowoc, located at 2201 South 42nd Street, and will be live-streamed on the Seehafer News and Coolest Coast Manitowoc County Facebook pages.
