Wisconsin welcomed the U.S. Navy as they "docked" in Madison last week. The Navy in Madison? Yes, they were here (virtually) for Navy Week, an opportunity for the Navy to share its story with parts of the country that don’t have a large Navy presence.
The Navy and the Wisconsin Veterans Museum taught us about the USS Wisconsin, took us on us a tour of the historic USS Constitution, shared Navy Band performances, offered a chance to chat with sailors from our state and more. To view the recorded events, visit the Navy Office of Community Outreach and Wisconsin Veterans Museum Facebook pages.
Wearing a mask is one of the most effective strategies to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. These face coverings reduce the release of infectious particles into the air when someone speaks, coughs, or sneezes, including someone who has COVID-19 but but may not realize it because they feel well.
We require staff in our veterans homes to wear masks while on campus, and encourage members to do so when receiving care or when gathering for small-group activities. We hope you will join us in wearing a mask in public to help keep our communities healthy. Thanks to these and other preventative measures, we have been able to keep the members of our veterans homes safe and healthy.
Responding to the 2020 Census is a safe and simple step you can take now toward helping our communities rebuild after COVID-19. By responding to the census, you're helping to make sure your tax dollars return to your community to support programs impacting housing, education, transportation, employment, health care, and public policy. Respond today by mail, phone (844-330-2020) or online, before census takers begin visiting non-responding households later this summer.
