Evers. “On this solemn national holiday, I join Wisconsinites and folks across the country in paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service our country, as well as the family members and loved ones they left behind.” Executive Order #165 will be in effect from sunrise to 12 p.m. on Mon., May 30, 2022, and is available here. |
